Occasionally, I need to edit one of my postings. I can't find any way to do that.
Any help?

If you get back to it soon enough, there is an edit option.

I just used it on this post. It shows up at the bottom of the entry field along with the other usual choices as soon as you post.

Just edited my last post. There was an "edit" link at the bottom; however, it seems to expire after a while.

Unfortunately, unlike some other sites, you have only one hour to edit a post - or the title.

Exactly an hour

There is also a link to edit your topic title - it's above your avatar and also expires (disappears) as the clock strikes 60 minutes.

If your post is a “Classified Ad,” the topic title can be edited at any time. Useful for sale price changes or reporting it sold, etc. Saves people from opening the topic only to find out it’s already gone.

Wish you could delete a post. Sometimes get duplicates.

Use the Report Issue link below your post / any post. Select one of the drop-down options, add a comment, and Send. The 'report' goes to ADMIN for action.

Within that hour you can go back and erase all the post then just put a period or dash (must have a character). That is better than a full duplication if you don't want to wait on Admin to fully delete.

Or <removed>

Whatever erases the thought ...
