Fanpop Question

Is it possible to go back and edit/delete content you put up AFTEr it was published?

Let's say you forgot to put credit on an image, or messed up spelling on an article or pick, or put a wrong link in etc, etc. Is there be a way to go back and fix that, or maybe delete it?

Of course you can! It's really not that hard at all. Most content has an "edit" button you can press. In the bottom right hand corner of the screen below the submitted content, there are three buttons you can press. The one that looks like a pencil is the "edit" button, where you can go back and put credit, change links, etc. The one that's a circle with an 'x' in the middle is the "delete" content button, and the little flag is the "report" button.

The only time you can't edit content is a quiz question and a pick question (after it's been out there for longer than five minutes). But even in these cases, report the content to the F4, tell them what you did wrong, and either ask them to fix it for you, or ask them to delete it entirely.

I don't think the threshhold is 5 minutes; I think it's however long it takes for someone to answer the pick or quiz question. Once there's an answer, the question's creator cannot change the question.

I've tried to change a quiz question about an hour after it was made (since it was in an unpopular spot, no one had answered it yet), and I still couldn't change it, so I do think some kind of time limit is employed.
