What are the steps required to edit a post?
No "edit" button appears when I select my post. When I log in the Posting rules state "You may edit your posts".
I have read the online edit instructions but my ad web page does not correspond to these instructions.
Thanks in advance for all suggestions.

After a certain time period, you cannot edit your posts. I don't know what the time period is.

Testing 123 post.
I just edited a post of mine from April 11th.
Are you trying to remove a post or edit it? Along the bottom row you should see 4 blue buttons on the right side of your message if you are logged in. Click on the edit, when done, click save.
If you are trying to deleat, that has a time limit.

Thanks for the replies gentleman. I was trying to edit may ad, not delete it.
My ad was posted in Feb. 2022. Apparently the window of time allowed to edit has passed. Currently at the bottom row of my post only three blue buttons appear, no edit button appears.
If anyone can clarify the rules regarding allowed edit and deletion "time periods" for ads I would appreciate receiving this information.

Thanks again.

Looks like a 60 day window to edit. I back checked some of my old post, I could still see the edit window around mid March on my post. At this point you could just let it drop down and start fresh if that was your goal.
