I'm a newbie to iBoats. I've noticed two things: 1) only seem to be able to edit your own posts right after posting them - when you go back later after they've been read, they can't be edited...also, don't think we're allowed to post quotes from other "none-iBoats" forums, but posting links in general work. Am I correct on both?
You have 1 hour after posting to edit. The feature was abused when we had an infinite edit time. A 5 minute limit was imposed and we quickly realized 5 minutes was too short, especially when proofreading a long post. In the best interests of forum harmony and usefulness, the 5 minutes was increased to 60 minutes and seems to be working well.
As far as quotes from non-iBoats sources - Often quotes are from iBoats competitors and naturally the primary retail business is protected in the forum. Links to competitors are modified for the same reason. If the retail business suffers, this forum, will disappear.
Many other noncompeting links and quotes are allowed. There are other subjects which result in editing or deletion which are covered in the forum rules. Click on the Forum Help link in the sig below and look at the rules if you have any questions.
