Hello Ivar,I was playing with this setting this morning. It should now be back as it was before... sorry!
There is a time limit on when you can edit a post. Just a few days I think.Hello Ivar,
I cannot find the “edit” setting for my pilgrim books post. I appreciate your help. Also a question: Is there a way I can delete the post and create a new one for Camino Sunrise?

Last I heard, members can edit or delete their own posts for 1 week. They cannot delete a thread, even if they started it. Both limits are intended to prevent major disruption or discontinuity in threads.There is a time limit on when you can edit a post. Just a few days I think

One week should be enough time for members to correct typos, clarify points that are raised, or "sleep on" what they have posted.
If you want something edited or deleted after 1 week, you can "report" your own post and ask the moderators to make the correction or deletion. By reporting the post, we will know exactly which post you are talking about.

Not sure why. Did you already edit once? Can you see the Edit option on any other recent (less than 1 week) posts you have made?Hmm. Edit disappeared again, even if only 4 minutes later.
You are speaking my language here, Rick.I post to get the main idea across and then edit for spelling, punctuation, grammar and readability. Hopefully fast enough no one sees how dumb I am.
Sounds good.I've been editing a lot all day and it has always worked. Sometimes a few times on the same post within minutes. I post early because I don't want a finger slip on my smartphone to delete things.

I am glad that the timelimit is extended: As a non-native English person, I many times need to rephrase/correct spelling.Personally I think that is short-sighted. I frequently need to edit earlier posts, even weeks later for spelling, grammar, factual errors, or just that something changed my mind about an issue or earlier statement.
I am neither omniscient nor a perfect grammarian. Have YOU tried to compose something while typing with one finger on a smartphone? Does autocorrect ALWAYS get what you meant correct? Neither does it work that way for me.
I always strive to provide accurate, useful and concise input, in all my forum posts. The edit capability helps me avoid misinformation and misunderstanding. I do try to read my posts before I hit the “post reply” button. But, I confess to being both human, and in my mid-60s...
Please return my edit capability. If it needs to be limited, perhaps do so for more junior forum members... Just a thought.
