Please note that a small line of text will show on the post stating that you have made an edit. As such, it is advised you also attach a reason to why you made the edit. This lets the admin, other moderators, the poster and the rest of the community know there was an issue. You can use the [edit][/edit] YaBBC tags to add a message about your edit.

This will appear as follows:

This function will instantly move the post and all the posts under it to a brand new topic. The subject of the post you split is the new topic's subject.

To revalidate your session, simply click "Update Session" on the YaBB menu at the top of the forums. If this link isn't present, then your session doesn't need to be updated.

By default, it asks you for your password to revalidate. That can be changed in your profile, under the "Edit Profile" area, near the bottom of the items.

To check if sessions are enabled, go into the Admin Center. From there, select "Flood/Session Security" on the left. If the checkbox to the right of "Activate Session ID's" is checked, sessions are enabled.
