How can I edit a post?

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

The button should be on the upper-right-hand side of the post. I think you can only edit the post for an hour or so after you post it.

Glad I saw this--I never have noticed that button, but in the few times I've looked for it, it was much later than an hour after I posted.

Which brings up the question I have now--one of the editors who checked my most recent book review noticed an error that I would like to have corrected. Apparently there isn't a way I can do this myself, so I'm wondering if someone can do it for me. Is that possible? Thanks!

I think you can ask one of the moderators to make a correction. I did this a few months ago when the author brought up the fact that I wrote the main character's last name wrong. The name was O'Shea, but I got it stuck in my head that it was O'Hara (a more common Irish surname).

Thanks--I've sent a request to the moderators. It's embarrassing enough that I made the error--but it gives readers incorrect information, and I hate to point them in the wrong direction.
