You can also open this link:

http://topgfx.info/user/(YOUR USER NAME HERE)/news/

This will lead you to all of your Posts' Short Stories. At the bottom of each post
you will find this Box:








When you click the blue Edit button you get a drop down menu with 2 link buttons:
Full Edit - This leads you to the DataLife Control Panel Edit Page for that Post.
Quick Edit - This opens a pop-up window that is similar to the Add News Page that
is opened in the TopGFX Toolbar "Add News" button.





The above editing steps also apply to this Editing Window, the boxes containing the
text in the Short and Long Stories are adjustable in size by the lower right corner
of each box to better fit the text and Bulletin Board Code in each panel. There is no
Preview feature by this method, just Save and Cancel buttons at the bottom of the
Quick Edit Window.


Any Poster can use the Quick Edit feature without the permission needed in the
DataLife Control Panel



HAPPY POSTING & EDITING!
