Hello @Former-Member
And other visitors to this thread, particularly those who may wish to know how to edit their messages, following removal, by forum administration, for breach of, or non-compliance with guidelines.
If any information is included in a post, that will allow a contact to be made with anyone, either as a member of the forum, or in any other way, such as by phone number, address, etc the message is considered, by the administration, to be non-compliant with the guidelines and is likely to be put aside for editing.
The following procedure follows in each detail, the steps that I have taken in order to edit one of my own messages that was considered non-compliant with guidelines. Following these steps will enable you to edit your own message(s) in case this situation occurs to you.
The non-compliant words, numbers or sections of text, requiring removal or adjustment, will be identified, by highlighting, in the text or email that you have received from the forum administration. I have only ever used a computer for this editing procedure, so am unfamiliar with any possible variations in the steps when using a mobile phone.
To edit a post:
"View your profile" - Go to your profile with the link "View your profile" near the top right of the forum page, and which is underneath the words "Guidelines & Info"
"Member Profile" - On the right hand side of the "Member Profile" page, under "Settings", is a link called "ITEMS FOR EDITING".
"ITEMS FOR EDITING" - Click the link "ITEMS FOR EDITING" to raise a screen called "Unmoderated Items".
"Unmoderated items" - On this page, underneath the words "Unmoderated items", click the appropriate heading boxes, to ensure that the words "Items for editing" and "Forums", are both shown in white backgrounds, and the words "Items" and "Images" are both shown in light-grey backgounds.
"SUBJECT" and "POSTED" - With these items selected, as in 4. above, you will have open for you, a page with headings "SUBJECT" and "POSTED" {in smallish letters} over any post(s), considered by the administration, as not meeting, or being non-compliant with the Guidelines, The column to the right of "POSTED" has the word "EDIT" against each item requiring to be edited.
"Edit" - Click on the word "Edit" to the right of the post that you wish to edit.
"Edit Message" - A page with the words "Edit Message" will be displayed, over your existing message, in a standard "Reply" box.
Action Edit - Edit the message according to the directions given in the text message or email that you received from forum administration and
"POST" - click "POST", at the bottom right of the message box.
The edited message will then be posted into the thread from which it was removed for editing.
I offer these details in the hope that they will be of use to you and any other members who may need to use this editing procedure.
With My Best Wishes
@HenryX
