When I click the "edit" option when viewing one of my own posts it opens the page but the text area will not accept the curser. What to do? Thanks.

I'm a mod and I should be able to edit at any time,
but when I try to edit posts after 15 mins it comes up message edit time over or somethiong like that
but as a mod, I should be able to edit it shouldnt I?

Only Admins can Edit, Moderators do not have that option.

As far as I could remember, mods never had the ability to edit their own posts after 15 mins. 
Only admins do.

You probably have the right granted Co. Jack. The issue of granting mod right of Edit was brought up earlier this year by me and after much discussion the answer was no full edit right for Moderators. This has caused me to make all the Staff on my Forum Admins so they have the right to edit their own posts (Note: No one has edit rights for posts not of their making). Not happy about that for many reasons but it is Lefora policy concerning Moderators.

Not sure if the posts in Support on this are still about but you might search for them

Just tested with an alternate ID set to mod.

Full edit rights on my own posts.

If this has been changed by Lefora than I am very pleased. I expect Chief will have to confirm that it is indeed the new standard.

yes, as coloneljack tested very well (thank you), mods can edit their own posts on lefora, just like admins.

Doesn't work. I try to edit posts from yesterday and it says 'Time limit has expired.'

Well back to the starting gate. That is what was the case before, with the edit being displayed, but the time running out for Moderators just like regular members. Quite the discussion on it as I mentioned and Lefora pretty dead set against providing it. That is why I had my doubts that anything had changed. Oh well. neutral

If I'm understanding the problem correctly, then I think I just fixed it.
Let me know.
