How do you edit a post?

Or do you guys just not make mistakes?

Dave, on the bottom right of your post (your post only), you'll see a blue "edit" button. Simply click that and it will take you the text box, where you can edit your post. If you're editing to add smilies or quotes, you'll need to click the "go advanced" button under the box containing your text.

Wow....
I see that button in my post here. But in my post in the buy/sell section it just is not there. Is there some reason that secton would be different?

As a matter of fact, I just went and checked my other posts and none of them have that edit button except this one.

There is a time limit with the edit function. The other posts you checked were probably made more than three days ago - the current time limit setting for editing posts.
