  • Why Can't I Edit my posts!

    Mark, Dan... Is there any special reason why
    I am
    "Not authorized to use this feature"
    when I attempt to edit a post?

    -Also, why did the notepad white out, did you accidentally delete the character?

    Perhaps you accidentally tried to edit someone else's post?

      Entirely possible...

      It has occurred to me in the past.

        Or else the software decided the post was immaculate and shouldn't be fiddled with.

          this is the exact quote I get when I attempt to edit my posts,

          <center><table width=80%><tr><td><font color=000080 face="Verdana" size=2><font size="1">quote:
          <img src="/images/blue1.gif" width=100% height=1>
          </font>Sorry, but you are not authorized to perform this function. Use your Back button.
          <img src="/images/blue1.gif" width=100% height=1></font></td></tr></table></center>

          This is an edit test.

                Strange. It is only not working on a particular post I made in AC fiction, It works here. ???

                Would posting from a different internet connection affect this?

                      That is the message you get when you try to edit somebody elses message. That should not be appearing if you are only editing your own.

                          Okay, the post is in "The Chiron Chronicle II" by myself and is the first one in which the year 2118 comes up... I was attempting to change the 2118 to a 2119.
