==== Editing a Message ====

If you make a mistake or decide later that you'd like to change something you've said, click the Edit button below the message.

You can edit your message in one of two ways:
  * Quick Edit - This option will open the message in the MyCode editor, without the formatting toolbar. It's useful if you just want to make a small change (to correct a typo, for example), but it might be harder to read your message this way.
  * Full Edit - This option will open the message in the normal message editor, including the formatting toolbar that allows you to add bold, italics, links, etc.

<HTML>
<p style="border:2px solid red;"><b>IMPORTANT! You can edit a message only for the FIRST 15 MINUTES after it was posted!</b> The reason for this rule is to minimize the possibility that a message will be edited after someone has replied to it.</p>
</HTML>

After that time:
  * You will no longer see an Edit button below the message.
  * The only way to edit the message is to ask a forum staff member for help. (See the list of our staff [[forum_staff|here]]). **Please make these requests in public.** Private requests will not be honored.

Please keep the following guidelines in mind when you edit a message:

**DO**:

  * Feel free to fix typos, grammatical errors, and broken links.
  * Note in the space provided why the edit was made.

**DON'T**:

  * Make substantial or contextual changes once others have replied to your message.
