Packard Forum Index » Packard Vehicles - For Sale, Wanted, Trade

This Forum is for posting Packard Vehicles that are For Sale, Wanted or Trade Only. If you have parts for sale, please use the parts for sale forum.

All "For Sale" posts must include the following or they will be deleted:

-Picture (at least one)
-Description
-Price in US $ ("call for price", "negotiable", "fair offers accepted", etc, are not acceptable)
-Current Running/Mechanical Status
-Current Title Status
-Vehicle Location (Country, State, City)
-Contact Information

This is all required to help ferret out spam, fraudulent and bogus listings.

When the Vehicle is sold, or otherwise no longer available, please post that so other folks are aware.

If these rules are not followed, your posting may be deleted.

Can you please tell me how I can edit my listing?
Thanks for the help!

I don't remember what the current timeline might be but there is a limit after a post was made. If the post is older than the time he allowed the EDIT and DELETE options disappear and you will only see the REPLY and QUOTE buttons at the bottom of the post. If EDIT or DELETE is missing you will need to contact BigKev to change anything.

Quote:Howard,

If I remember correctly the time limit is something like 7 days.

That is exactly my problem. I do not have an edit or delete button. I did send a message to BigKev as suggested and am waiting for a reply.
Thanks for the help!

The ability to delete goes away far more quickly than does the ability to edit which I believe for the latter is 7 days as Mal said. I was rather surprised a few days ago when I was on the AACA site which not only remembered my login from several years ago but also let me edit something I had posted back then which I wish I could do here.

The xoops package used here seems to do things differently but oddly, sometimes it remembers my mobile device login while other times it remembers my PC login but never both at the same time. This isn't a complaint but just a comment!

The delete/edit was changed about ten years ago when someone decided to delete every post they ever made and that swiss-cheesed the continuity of the forum threads. It started with just a time limit on the delete, then someone else decided to edit every post they ever made and replace the content with a single period. Once again, swiss-cheese. So after that, posts become part of the permanent record after a few days. If something does indeed need to be edited or delete for some serious reason, then a msg to me is required, and I can do it.
