Hi, I am not having much luck following your process, (see spreadsheet test thread), can I ask what browser you are using? Also when you copy/paste the spreadsheet are you selecting all the content and copying or are you copying the full file? Cheers, G
As far as the annual Naps table goes (runs from February to Grand National day) assuming it is given approval for 2018, the ability to edit the opening post is all that is required.
Thx TK. Although credit must go completely to NOSEYBONK here, I would never have been able to figure that out. With this workaround, the main issue is now on editing posts (Particularly the OP, and 2nd post for charity stuff) I am sure Sky have their reasons, but can I please ask WHY there is a time limit at all? Several threads update the OP on a regular basis throughout the year, it seemed a sensible thing to be able to do. Cheers, G

It is standard for all or most good Forums that the Edit function only works for limited periods - usually 10, 15 or 30 minutes. I'm not going to detail the reasons, but it's very exploitable, &, as usual, the minority who spoil it for the majority.
At present, the Default on this forum is one hour, & that applies to all Members on all threads.
It COULD be adjusted to "unlimited" but I'm very keen that we don't.
It remains the case, however, that the Techie guys are hopeful of a work-around for those people who currently Edit Opening Posts.
I think we have made great progress today - the new Forum only opened yesterday afternoon - and I'm sure there is a way round all these little niggles.

Thanks for the feedback TK, yes we have made good progress today, I await with interest, for further information regarding the workarounds for editing opening posts. Appreciate all the effort you guys are going to, to assist us. Cheers, G

As an example (below) I opened the SS and select all the cells in the workbook and Copy
Then paste in the Leave a comment section (which starts like this)
.. and once I removed the bits that are not needed (above the img src line) I end up with this
Glad we've got a workaround and you're able to post them now
