Help Can't edit future post.

[CaptainSunshine!]

So I'm setting up my death post, and I can't edit it. I clicked preview and it said "minimum scheduled posting time is 1 minute". Am I doing something wrong or does this forum just not allow editing of future posts? Do I have to delete it and post again, every time I wanna change something? I guess I can copy something into a note file, but I'd like to know.

It works for me. I've just tested it. I can edit a future post, both the content and the post date. I can also preview my edits when I click the Preview button.

My death post is in the megathread, and so it's a reply. Is your future post an independent thread? Maybe there's just a bug with replies.

Yeah, I tested it with a new thread.

I've just tried it with a reply/comment on this thread too. It appears that if I click on the post date while in Edit mode, and set it again, it works. If I don't do that, I get the error you mentioned, and it won't save the edits either.

In any case, I'd say scheduled-post a new thread. That's what most people do, anyway.

It's not a recognized term, as far as I'm aware, but you can schedule a post to upload some time in the future. The option is next to "attach files". This feature is used for posting your final goodbyes and such.

Oh well. I'm not gonna do a separate thread, since I think posting in the megathread will be much more useful. Most people are lurkers and such.

Thank you for constantly helping me.

Well if your gonna do what I think your gonna do please don't you could be a future friend if you want just please I'm not the best at well being supportive or what am u supposed to call it and I know it's really inconsiderate for me to just say no* because it takes alot of courage but please?

I share your positivity, friend, but I've found that these don't really happen. I'm not gonna open up out of my own personal issues, and any relationship with me would be toxic. Thank you, however. You seem like a good person!
