Ahh gotcha sorry didnt read that properly, the posts are only editable for the first day after posting.

I can edit them for you or you can bug stuart and see if he'll change the rules

Just to Hijack, if you get permission to do that can i also have permission to have the "MOT time" part removed from my topic title

I'm happy for this feature of the site to be amended for now. If it causes chaos, we can always revert to the current method of control.

Wave your magic wand Maff

I've edited yours already Dan.

That would be good if it does go back, i wanted to add more pictures to the lotus post without adding another post but couldn't edit it.

One of the advantages of the current system is that new photos need to go into a new post and therefore you'll get new traffic. If you simply edit a post and put them in, no one will know about it unless they revisit the post anyway..........does that make sense?

One doesn't want to become a post whore see
