Why oh why does cbid refuse to give us this simple device? This must be the only forum in the known universe that doesn't let us fix our typos and revise our thoughts. I'm a reasonable guy, Is there a good reason?

That button would be handy

This simple device is not so simple to create with our current forum. We don't refuse to give it to you. Rather, we would love to give it to you. Unfortunately, the new forum is on the back burner right now while other things take a higher priority.

I like the idea of an edit button. If I say something stupid and someone criticizes me for it, all I have to do is go back and change what I wrote and then they'll look like idiots for calling me out for saying something that no longer appears on the thread. What a deal!

SteveR, just share your login info with me so I can edit my posts. Don't worry, I won't use it for anything else 🙂

An edit button would be nice but... be careful what you wish for. One nice thing about this site is how easy it is to navigate. A new forum with lots of features can also mean that it is not as user friendly the rest of the time.

Doesn't everyone of you ***edited by J.Redleg*** have an Edit Button?

If not you should go to the ***edited by J.Redleg*** section and get one. It's easy to do.

I must be the only guy here that likes the forum the way it is. Simple. I like simple. Don't change a thing.

^ what he said ^

...except I want to be able to search thread content back a few years.

"I like the idea of an edit button. If I say something stupid and someone criticizes me for it,"

All I gotta do is laugh at them while flippin'em off and move on or post something more stupid that gets under their skin ;0)~~~

My point is that an edit button can have a negative impact on our ability to communicate. They can do whatever they want, but I'd rather not have an edit button. I think mistakes might be easier to clarify / correct now. Letting people change history sounds like it would only lead to confusion. Of course, I'm sure a number of discussion lists let you edit your posts, so I'm probably overreacting.

how bout a spell chack button

This is just like real life people. No edit and redo.

Be a man (or woman as the case may be) and live with your mistakes.

is faster on the front burner. most, if not all of the double posts are because the transfer doesn't seem to be working, so we hit it again. it is inconsistant.
