Is there any way to edit a post other than those just posted?

Thanks

BOINC is written to only allow editing for I believe 1 hour after posted. It's a "feature" supposedly.

I believe sites can change this in the config, but I am not positive.

I think you are right, but how can you annotate a thread as [Solved], if you only have a one hour window?

Also, where are the SMILES?

I found the answer...

You need to make a new post in the thread using the Post to thread button (don't use the reply or the quote buttons).

Once the new message is posted, use the edit button of that post and it will offer you the option to edit the thread title along with the content of that post.

Of course this only work on your own threads.
