hi guys,

in this thread : Australian LS1 and Holden Forums (http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=97844)

I attempted to edit my post because the initial instructions i gave (and the google map) were misleading, however it says i cant edit it because of a time limit, and i cant delete it.

So, i tried replying a 2nd time to state that at least my above post was inaccurate and post new details ... but intead it "auto merged it" ... so it just looks like a complete shambles now.

I tried to email moderators, but it tells me i must have at least 20 posts to email a moderator (even tho to a brand new user such as myself this is probably when i need most help while i get used to a new forums quirks & ways.)

is there a way i can clean up my own post? Or do i have to wait for someone else to reply, so that then i CAN add a proper reply without it auto merging?

can i not edit my own post?

Cheers guys and sorry!

All fixed up now mate, remember to report the post in the future, when you do that it comes up in the moderators search results as a thread needing attention, that way we are aware of it straight away.
