Post editing

[ECC]

My sausage-fingers sometimes result in typographical errors, and I would like to edit my post...sometimes after the edit feature allows. Is it possible to set the edit feature to infinite? I post on other boards that allow you to edit your post whenever you feel like it.

JMHO!

Have a GREAT Weekend!

Then some dimwit will come in and post a bunch of BS, then go back and erase it when they have a change of heart. Or they don't want to look stupid.

Easily solved when you quote the nitwit in his entire nitwitness...then you will always have proof.

Or just ban them for misuse.

I like banning people.

On the PA fire board I own, that's the only reason I check up on, to see who I can ban.

I agree, being able to edit posts is great, but it has proved problematic in the past.

We used to allow editing without limit. Then a member came along, made a bunch of posts, and ultimately had their posting rights limited for a while. They went back and edited almost all their posts, meaning MANY threads just didn't make sense or flow. That's what I don't want to happen.

Right now it's set at 5 minutes for editing, can you think of a number that would be better?

30 minutes? 60?

sometimes my spelling SUCKS!

 

[TTLWHKR]

27 Minutes

How about leaving at the 5 minutes for new users...then up it when they have proved themselves worthy...say at 50 posts or 100 or something like that

That sounds like a pretty keen idea. Heck, that's just the bees knees.

I wonder if that's possible, though? Many of these forums allow a list of a hundred options, but nothing really advanced. I have to pay 9.99 a month just to be able to set my board so that non-members can't view the sub categories.

I didn't notice that the edit button disappeared after a while.

I'm dyslexic so I have to go back and read and spell everyword slowly all the time otherwise I spell them all wrong and backwards. *shrugs*

Remember... as long as the first and last letters are in the right place we will know what you mean.

How does 5 minutes for users with less than 10 posts, and 1 hour for users with 10+ posts sound?

Fantabulous. Can we do a trial period of a couple weeks and see how it goes?

I would think that 50 is a good number to figure out if someone is a knucklehead or not.
