Why can't I edit or delete a post in the forums after I make one?

[stevens70907226]

Sorry, I don't know where to ask this. This seems to be the only forum not tied to a product. 

Everytime I post in the forums, the ...More link to edit or delete is greyed out for me. (see pic) That box doesn't expand. How do I fix this? I'm logged in. It's the same on Safari or Brave.

The exact combination is a secret, but new users are not allowed to edit a message until they have 'proven' themselves as real, not spammers

Only employees may delete a message

Thanks. I made a few typos and wanted to correct them and was surprised I couldn't. I thought it might be a setting I couldn't find, but now I understand why. 

Cheers,

If you want a post edited or deleted, post a link to it here with an expanation and a moderator may edit it for you.

Indeed, never seen that in a forum

I've posted 98 messages in 8 years still considered a newbie?

Non-employee moderators may also edit a post or move it to a place where an employee can delete it.

We are talking about editing / deleting a post that a user created. Not delete or edit any post!

Typos, important info missing etc. lots of reason to edit a post. Delete when it's no longer relevant or you realize it was a dumb question. Keeps the clutter down in that case.

We all understand what is meant, but they are the rules. I have over 50000 posts and I cannot delete.
