You can’t. Just post again. If you have a really big problem post to admin moderator.

How do you go back and edit your post?

The software here doesn't allow for editing a published post. Once you hit "post", it's a done deal.

I used to hate that, but it's forced me to be a better editor.

If you look under the posting window, you'll see a little box on the right hand side that says, "I have already previewed or do not wish to preview this composition."

Leave that box un-checked, and you'll always get a preview of what your post will appear in the thread. I always read through that to make sure that everything looks good before I hit "post" the second time.

Two things ~ DO NOT CHECK THE BLOCK that says "I have already previewed....." when you are writing a post.

You can then spellcheck it, or preview it. If you hit "post" you get ONE MORE CHANCE, and then your words are etched into FR's vast warehouse of wisdom and knowledge FOREVER!
