kjs55 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Hi, The previous PVsyst Forum allowed us to edit our posts after submission (for increased clarity, to fix spelling typos, to improve grammar, etc.). Can we do this on the new PVsyst Forum and, if so, how? Thanks. P.S. The previous PVsyst Forum also allowed us to preview our posts prior to submission (to view renderings of special formatting, etc.). Can we do this on the new PVsyst Forum and, if so, how?

Lazare Fesnien Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Hi, You can edit your posts by clicking on the three small dots at the top right of the post. Indeed for the moment, the preview option is not available but we are raising this request in order to add it as possible Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjs55 Posted April 11, 2022 Author Share Posted April 11, 2022 Thanks so much for your timely & thorough reply - it's very much appreciated. I tried clicking on the ellipsis, however, all I see (as a normal, non-admin user) are the following options: Report and Share. This is why I originally reached out: because I'd expected to see another option for "Edit". Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjs55 Posted April 11, 2022 Author Share Posted April 11, 2022 (edited) P.S. Interestingly, I saw the "Edit" option appear in the ellipsis of my above reply for a brief time following my submission of the reply post. However, that option quickly disappeared after about a minute or so, and now only the options "Report" and "Share" remain in the ellipsis of the reply post (similar to the original post above). Again, I think it'd be very valuable if we can edit our posts over the long term (to add further context & details as we think of it, etc.)!

kjs55 Posted April 11, 2022 Author Share Posted April 11, 2022 This is post is just a test (to try to generate & transcribe the "option to edit has timed out" error message). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjs55 Posted April 11, 2022 Author Share Posted April 11, 2022 Finally, here's the error message that occurs when trying to edit a post after about 1-min. following submission: "This comment can no longer be edited. It may have been moved or deleted, or too much time may have passed since it was posted for it to be edited." Essentially, I'm proposing to please remove the time limit for editing posts, similar to the previous PVsyst Forum setup. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazare Fesnien Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Indeed, we will look to shift the editing limit of posts. Thank you for your feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjs55 Posted May 6, 2022 Author Share Posted May 6, 2022 Any updates here? I just tried to edit one of my recent posts. I got an error (see below). And, for more historical posts, there's no option to Edit at all. Again, the previous PVsyst Forum more ideally allowed for continuous editing/improvements with no time constraints. Oops! This content can no longer be edited. It may have been moved or deleted, or too much time may have passed since it was posted for it to be edited.

dtarin Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) I was able to edit, click the three dots, edit button is there, works fine. ::Edit:: Edited May 7, 2022 by dtarin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjs55 Posted May 8, 2022 Author Share Posted May 8, 2022 @dtarin: As I wrote above, it works for a limited time after you submit the post (e.g., 1-2 minutes). The previous forum allowed edits indefinitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjs55 Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 Following up on this. ~1-min. is not enough time to make important edits to our PVsyst Forum posts. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
