As I got the trick from elsewhere I´d probably get thrown out of class for plagiarism

Pre this Forum set up (the old style Version) everyone could edit thier Posts.
As they did this the admin (not Moderators) could see an edit had taken place and then look and see what had been done. However, some used this to mess about so the ability to edit Posts was reduced when the new style Forum was set up.
Granted, some other Forums allow editing for all members, either for every post made by a member on the entire Forum or on limited Forum sections. Generally such Forums have a larger Team with Editor capabilities so there´s more Chance of Messing about being picked up on.
Here, if unlimited editing for all was possible It would be possible for someone to join the Forum, make a few Hobby related Posts then go to sleep as it were, wait until the Posts they made have dropped into the history of the Forum and come back and edit them to contain offensive material, links etc. Such editing may get overlooked.
The Problem with PB wasn´t foreseen when the limited editing was brought in. Hopefully, with time we mods can go about and Change the links ....a lot of work but unless PB changes from thier money demands the only solution.
At the Moment it might be best to leave the present links as they are, it´s possible PB will back down from thier Money grabbing idea and allow third Party Hosting. What that would do to links with the ~original added I don´t know.
