This is a security measure to stop spammers. You will be able able to edit your posts after you get 10 posts.

lmao, 10, 100, 50... I need to teach my members and staff what everything is on here hahahaha.
The reason we don't allow editing by new members is we have had issues with members signing up just to become "Internet Rambo's" and talk smack to other members. Yes, the staff and I can read the "Old" post even after it's edited but the members can't. This has started a war on here that I would like to avoid from now on, hence a high post count (in relative terms). For those kind of people, and/or spammers, it is a high post count. But for the great members of this forum, it's a very easy post count to reach.
And I know you want to know what the definite number is, and it's 100. Ken gets the award for this one. I can assure you, you will reach 100 posts in no time flat. Just look at my post count lol.
If you do make a mistake in a post that you would like corrected, you can contact myself (which is probably going to take a while since I'm pretty busy right now), or Callsign4223, Coolgabsi, Derek or Lee and they (or I) can edit your post. Just make sure to include in your post the ENTIRE post what you want in your thread so that all the staff has to do is copy what you have, select all in your post and paste it.
Again, you will reach this post count in no time.

Asking questions are post so whatcha got???? Won't take long. I was suprised how fast it went, and yes I had the same question because of embarassing typos.

I'm probably the worst offender. "Welcome aboard" or "Welcome aboard, ___" if they give a name. Sometimes I'll throw in a "Welcome to the forum!" instead.Though if the intro includes something noteworthy to my interests I'll throw on some extra encouragement to post more on something in particular. I'm the same way in person, though. "Hi, how are ya". And that's about it until something peeks my interest or the other person is particularly engaging and manages to drag more out of me. Not a small talk guy.

Well I don't think I've ever welcomed so many people on a forum before, although I do, do it on other forums and genuinely mean it. I have hopefully contributed meaningfully to several threads but your right Tony it hasn't taken long to get to 50 posts, this being number 50. But the fact that I'm off work sick and bored out of my skull has also helped. Really enjoying the diversity of the forum I have only been on Helicopter forums previously, but now find a lot of interest in what the Plank and Multi people have to contribute as well.
