Too many edits?

3 replies

I'm a bit too casual with Swype and often discover that I've made a typo, or an autocorrect has sneaked in. So I quickly edit, save carry on.

I just tried to edit such a post and it wouldn't submit. A little pop up appeared to say that I've made too many edits.

There's a limit then? Is everyone going to have to put up with my errors? How does this work?

Hi OP

Could you share your post with us? The one that was limited to the amount of edits. We can take a look to see what's happened here.

Hi @saraclara . We'll have a think and see if we can work out what happened there but in the meantime, if it happens again could you send us a link to the post and that might help us spot what's going on? Thank you!

Hi there @fungipie . Here's how the edit button works

User posts
User is given a 5 minute window to edit the post (button appears on the post under the three dots top right). It is possible to edit more than once in that time period.
After that 5 minute window is over the button is no longer available
When a user clicks in to the see the edit they will see the original post at the bottom and each version of the post above with the most recent changes at the top.
