How to edit a post?

Well just from the topic, can some one tell me how i can edit a post that i posted B4 at any forum? Thanks in advance.

Posts can only be edited within 15 minutes of when you made the post. After that you cannot edit it.
You'll notice new green icon to the left of the Reply button about the post. Click on it to edit the post. When that icon disappears you no longer can edit it.

How to edit a post in Apple Support Comunities?

If I just posted something and saw it had typos. Is there any way to edit the post or remove it? I have searched all over for an option to edit my post and see none. I saw someone say that it was possible to edit within 15 minutes of making the post, but no mention of how to do that.

Not sure how fair it would be to leave the initial authorship content
open for editing too long after the thread was up, since that could
make replies to original content irrelevant, or discordant over time.
And people would be more reluctant to offer advice if the first topic
were to change; since nobody else can go back very far to change
the replies. Also, we'd not want to subscribe to a thread if the name
of it changed several times a week.

How to edit my post?

Try creating a new thread in the Test and Playground forum. If you are able to then go back in and edit the thread after you create it, then chances are your post that is giving you problems is a glitch that was just an unlucky coincidence with a server reset or something similar.

How to edit a post here in the forum?

I have noticed several posts in which the original author of the post went back into it to edit it.
How is that done? There have been many times I wanted to go back and edit.
Thank you.

Jabberwock, the experiment went like a slide on ice.
I did say that I would return in 15 minutes to edit a second time, but I got tied up in other things and returned to my office in about 40 minutes. I clicked onto my post as it existed in the forum list, but when it came up, it did not have that icon of the pen, so I figured that too much time had elapsed and I just let it go.

Edit: Oh oh. I think I discovered what might have happened. When I sent this message to be posted, a copy of the message remained "behind." THAT message had the pen icon on it. So my mistake was to go to the forum topic list for my message rather than to return to that particular page that acts like a holding tank for messages that I recently posted.
I might be way off base here, and if I am I hope someone clarifies so that anyone who is just starting out won't be misled by what I say here.....

Mac Book Pro and not Intel Imac[ don't know how to edit my post?]

I have Mac OS X version 10.6.8 and the screen is freezing up and/or somewhat crashing when I use my old version of imovie. I say old version which is hd 6.0.3. I also have the new version but I find the old much easier to use. New to me is imovie 09, version 8.0.6. Also, I have a red tint to my screen that has been going on for some time and I think that I need to replace the inverter. I have that part but I have not set down to repair and replace. I have just learned to live with the red tint, that is until everyting started acting up. Any one have any ideas as to what might be going on? Thanks in advance!

What system are you running on your Mac? Does it meet the requirements listed in this Apple doucment: iCloud: System requirements

How can I edit a post I've already posted?

I saw a button that said "Edit this post." I clicked it and got a notice that I must log in before editing my post. I was already logged in. Completed the longin info again, but still kept getting the message that I had to log in first. Closed Safari, reopened, re-logged in, went to the post, and then the button for editing the post was gone.
I see some discussion in this forum, but have not found a post telling exactly how to make the edit function work. Nor do I get results searching on "edit" or "edit post" or "edit forum post."
Nor do I find any mention of this in the Help section.
I did see one place where a person was asking a host to edit one of his posts. This could imply we can't edit our own posts; but then what is the edit button on a posted post for? In any case, it seems there should be some info about this somewhere, and perhaps the dialog box could be more explanitory (as in saying we must log in, when we already are).
Thank you.
I WAS able to edit THIS message. This time the Edit button worked. Maybe the other time was a fluke, or maybe there is a time limit on hitting the Edit button. But again, why was that guy asking a host to do his editing. Any clarification would be helpful. Alas, I now see only two choices: a button to Discard and Cancel, and a button to Edit Message. I'll go with the latter and see if it means "Post."

Hi ChicagoLarry!
If the 15 minute, Edit time span has elapsed, but you still have the post that you want to edit, open in a browser window, the  Edit icon, will still be evident.
But as you have discovered, if you click on it, you will be asked to login, which doesn't really make any sense.
Ideally, the message would be more like "You're allotted time to edit this post has expired."
I've made a suggestion to the Hosts.
Also, each time you edit an entry, the edit time is extended.
For example, if you edit a post 10 minutes after the initial time of posting, you will then have another 15 minutes, in which to edit again.
Each subsequent edit, adds another 15 minutes.
The discretionary editing of posts, by the Hosts, is usually done only for violations of the TOU, posted personal info, serial numbers, Email addresses, posting of commercial Websites, etc., not for misspellings, punctuation, or other minor posting errors.

How do I edit my posted question?

Sorry for the newbie question, but how does one edit their post?

blhooks,
First of all, Welcome to the Discussions!
You may not have realized, but when asking a new question you should post a new topic, which you can do by going to the appropriate forum and then selecting the "Post New Topic" link found at the upper left of the topics list on all the forums.
You query would probably be most likely answered best in the "Expanding Your iMac" of the new iMac Intel forums found @:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1112
Hope that helps some,

PS. It's always best not to "tag" onto someone elses topic as this will attract the quickest and best help for your particular question.

How do you edit a posting or reply to a topic? I made a mistake in my posting and need to correct it.

After logging in, click on the posting, then click on "reply" in the header bar.

How do I edit a post?

I need to edit a post I created, but there is no edit option.
I have about 5 minutes left to edit the post.

It will be too late now (so if you want to add or correct info then add a reply), but if it's the first post (i.e. the start of the thread) then I think that you should get an Edit option via the Actions icon above the post
If it's a reply on a thread then the Edit button should show below the post.
For both you have 15 minutes from the original time of posting
