How do I edit an older post of mine and change an image location? I know my most recent post has an edit link but my older posts don't have an edit link and they have photos that I'd like to move to another location but that would break the embedded link.

I can fix it on my side with a symlink, but my intent was to clean things up and not create more clutter.

On a related note, how long does the "edit" option remain?

Unfortunately, due to misuse of the edit facility by a (very) small number of our members, editing time is limited to 24 48 hours.

However, if you send me a link to the original post and the edited version then I will make the necessary alterations if the edits are appropriate.
 
Thanks LAB, not really worth it since the two photos in question aren't going to help anyone solve anything technical.
 
I routinely delete posts if I later decide they were to far off topic or a waste of time in general to both myself and anyone who might read them

I can only suggest you take a little longer to consider that before posting.
A member can request the moderator make changes after the edit time has expired.
When the forum was upgraded the last time Jerry didn't apply the edit time limit but it was abused yet again so the time limit was reintroduced.

( I lost interest after the "yates" thing, it was the last straw for me personally)... It seems that to is now time limited for no good reason. Edit or deletion should be unlimited time wise for the right reasons, if people elect to abuse the privilege give them one warning and after that be gone with them.


It really isn't that simple.
