Edit the post

Hey community,

today I tried to edit one of my post but unfortunately I run out of time during I updated my message and my sentences were lost. I think it would be great if you could add a clock or a warning message to avoid this situation in the future. Thank you!

Hi ,

Technically I don't think it will be possible for us to feature a clock or warning on all posts before the edit time runs out, personally I also believe that it could be a bit frustrating to receive warnings on all messages that you won't need to edit(which will be the vast majority).

But, should you ever need to edit a post and think the 30 minutes have gone, you are always welcome to contact a moderator and ask for a post to either be edited while including the new information. You can also just make a new post with all the correct information, and then tag either Marco or myself and ask for the old post to be deleted. We'll edit or delete anything if asked, we need to be flexible on that due to the edit function being limited to the 30 minutes :)

I think the clock or warning only may appear if you are editing the post and the 30 mins closure is near. Maybe in the last minute. Or add a new text box with the following message after you clicked on the post button: Editing time is over your message will be posted as a new one. Do you want to continue?
