Can't edit topic

[Oussebon]

I'm guessing the forums are set to disallow editing of topics after a certain number of days (a week or so?) presumably to stop editing in of spam links in junk posts.

Is that the case, and is it worth reviewing the limit?

I posted something on 7th May, edited it on 12th May, and now can't edit it again,

B450 / X470 motherboard and Zen 3 compatibility

Update 19th May: AMD have listened and now will be providing Zen 3 support on B450 and X470. See details: https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-to-support-zen3-on-b450-and-x470-motherboards ==== Old Info: Apparently now confirmed. Very poor show, AMD. AMD axes Zen 3 support on 400-series...

forums.pcgamer.com

Given that the title is:

[now confirmed] Zen 3 (4000 series) not supported on B450; and no 'Beta BIOS' support to board makers

And the first post criticises AMD for not providing support, I wish I could update it to reflect recent events, in case anyone sees it and thinks they need an X570 board just for Zen 2 compatibility.

If a moderator/admin sees this, perhaps they could at least edit the post title to B450 / X470 mobo compatibility. I'd have also liked to have updated the opening post with a link to the news story on Videocardz.

Is the cutoff for editing one's own posts a little too stringent perhaps?

Hello there @Oussebon I had a similar question concerning the time limit and this was the answer/discussion.
Feel free to PM me the info you want to update the post with and I will edit it for you. Meanwhile, I'll hide the post from the public until it is updated with the correct info.

 

[Oussebon]

As I suspected I've seen that method on other forums and it's annoying, though you can usually tell who is going to be doing it as the posts are garbage and pointless.

Anyway, thanks. And grats on your ascension!

I'll PM you.

wonders how you did this

 

[Oussebon]

Soft delete I think, then just undeleted.

 

[Colif]

Yeah, that is one way. Another requires Admin help to undelete so he probably just did that.

@Frindis' forum-fu is mighty.

 

[Colif]

I was just checking as he is new and I wanted to see how he did it.

@Colif If I remember correctly, I used the 'hide from public view' and then opened it afterward. No admin help.
