Just a small point: The originator of a thread or post can, at any time, edit the post. Just click on 'edit' and you'll have the option of 'Quick' or 'Full' edit. To edit the body text - for example to correct typos or to add or delete text or other alterations, you can do that in 'Quick' edit. When you've made the changes, just click on 'save changes'.
If you want to change the title of the thread - for example, in this case to amend 'Dick & Smith's Tips' to read 'Dick & Smithy's Tips' choose Full Edit, make the changes and click on 'Save changes'. You need 'Full Edit' to add or remove attachments too.
One of the nice features of this forum is that unlike some - where you can only make changes up to say 24 hours or whatever - on here you can edit your own posts right back to when the forum came into being almost three years ago. When the forum was thrown off course in late summer 2011, attachments to posts prior to that time were lost, but can be reattached. Without the attachments, the post often conveys little.
I always get a small frisson of delight when I re-attach lost attachments. I feel that it's one in the eye of those who caused the hassle that threw the forum off course back then. To some, that may sound a bit churlish or childish, but then small things amuse small minds!
