Editing a Post on Topology and Analysis Forum

  • Thread starter Math Amateur
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation is about someone who recently posted on the Topology and Analysis forum and realized their language was unclear. They wanted to edit their post but were unsure how. Another user, mfb, suggested using the "Edit" button in the lower left of the post. The original poster, Peter, had trouble finding the button but eventually found it. Math Amateur asked for help on how to edit a post and Mark44 warned that the edit window is short-lived.

@Math Amateur, be advised that the edit window is short-lived, just a few hours. After that time has elapsed you won't be able to edit your post. However, if you use the Report button and say what needs to be changed, one of the mentors can edit the post for you.
