I've been on the site for a few months now, but I'm still relatively new to the forums here. Is there a way to edit your forum posts? I usually find my typos after the post and I feel ridiculous staring at it and not being able to fix it, lol. If not I think there should definitely be an edit post button under each post by you!!


I actually just posted something about a "forum search" feature
suggestionhere(hopefully i did that right. if not, i apologize) being available only to moderators, but I think this feature could help out the little guys/gals too! I'm paranoid that I'm spamming in the forums by making topics that have been previously discussed because I'm too lazy to skim through multiple pages of topics....

Google is a good way of checking for threads that may have been made before, if you know which keywords to use.

There is currently no way to edit your posts, and I'm not 100% sure on whether it will be added or not.

I've seen the edit button abused before, so if it is ever implemented I'm hoping admins/mods will be able to see posts before the edit as long as after the edit(don't know if that's possible or not). Just in case you're unsure of what I mean by the button being abused, I've seen some people post something horrible, graphic, etc. then edit/delete it after a minute or so. Most of the time they're caught though, lol.



Thanks for the google tip Zophia, I didn't even really think about that! :]

could have at the bottom of each edited post the time and date it was edited

for mods they could see the previous post before the edit - i like that

Yeah, editing posts threads have been made before.

Using google to search for threads to see if they have been previously made is good. Just saying, less work. you know?
