Rules Why can't I edit my first post?

It said:
Q-9) How can I Bump my old thread? How to edit it after bumping?
A) Just below the first post of your thread you can find the option Bump/Relist/Edit you can use it to bump it and after bumping the thread you can see separate edit button at same place to edit your thread.

But this EDIT button doesn't appear after bumping the thread! How can I edit??? I need to change very important information on my thread.

Thanks.

 

It usually there,.. Check closely or try to printscreen your want to edit thread and post it here again the picture

 

You are only allowed to edit or delete a post within the first 8 hours of creating it:

Changing/Deleting Your Posts
If you would like to edit (or delete) your posts, you can do so within 8 hours of making the post. After that, it is not possible for you to edit or delete the posts you have made here.

Bumping the post does not change the above rule. You may want to put a follow up post (reply) below it with an update as to your corrections to the original post.

 

Thank you very much for your reply. Does it mean that the Rule about editing post is not working?

I posted a several months ago and Bumped it 3 or 4 times. It never let me to make changes. Does it mean that button Edit, as said in the Rules really WILL NOT appear as Rules promise?

 

Sorry, I did not understand. Do you mean I can make needed changes, make a skreenshot and post it here, so someone will help me with changing my first post???

 

To the best of my knowledge we have an 8 hour window in which to edit. After the 8 hours I believe that the window closes.
What I would suggest in your case is to simply create another post that starts off with something like this:
"It appears that I cannot edit my opening post so allow me to give an update". Something along those lines ought to do the trick.

 

I am not sure what FAQ/Q-9 you are referring to, but the Official Rules (as I pasted them above) are quite clear: you cannot edit a post after it has been up for eight hours. You can either do as I suggested above or as @Spoiltdiva suggests.

 

Thank you very much for the reply. I tried to edit the post together with bumping it as the rules tell. But this Edit button never applied. I tried it during last bump and most recent one two days ago. I don't know, am I blind or something is not working? But I do not see this Edit button during bumping and immediately after that. Please help. I must make changes!

 

No, you are not but people in this forum, based on their replies, are blind and deaf.

Never mind system have inherent problems with bumping, editing and updating
absolute thread, no one since 2004 ever tried to fix it even thou for 12 years
countless amount of members lost opportunities and was banned for trying to
appeal to common sense to allow people, NOT TO START NEW THREAD but to
have access to edit function to change very first, sometimes 1 year or even
5 years old post with fresh information.

You see, management doesn't have problems deleting hundreds of posts or
deleting new offer post and yet, old useless post is still there even thou people
who are coming here to find something useful, go away somewhere else because
no one, and I mean NO ONE, going beyond first post in tread to maybe post 30
on page #2 to find 'what is new'.

Apparently attracting new visitors and keeping paying and old members happy
is not in Rules of this forum and there is nothing you can do about that.

I just bumped my post right now and there is NO edid button again. Please help me with this problem. I tried to contact support team but was redirected to Twitter account ( ????) where nobody replies to my messages. As I pay for Premium membership $25, can I get some help please???

 

Just to make sure.
Are you saying that I can bump 6 years old thread and edit very first post?
