These forums lack the most basic thing ever. The ability to edit a post.

According to cormyn, this is the #1 requested item for the AG3 forums. Most likely, there will be a way to edit your own posts in AG3.

As much as I've heard this request before, I kind of enjoy not having access to edit your posts. It makes people (well, me at least) think a bit more before I hit the submit button.

Like Oak said, it helps me consider what I am writing before submitting it. I kinda like the no editing of posts. I won't mind if they put it as a option, but I probably won't want to use it.

Well what about broken links, or typos, or things like that?

You should have proofed your post before posting then. =P Or correct when you post again.

There's a thread to talk about the AG3 forums.

Anyway, I agree with the idea and it'll most likely be implemented. But Cormyn has said that it'll only be available for a few minutes then you can't edit.

But that ruins the whole point. You cant post part 1 of a story and then edit it later to show part 2

I know. I've brought that up multiple times in the thread I linked to and they've said no to it on all occasions.

I would LOVE to have the ability to edit posts. It would eliminate the glitchy sign things that you get when you copy and paste from other scources.

Since this is the #1 Requested thing, what about deleting posts?

I doubt they'd allow us to delete our own posts.

They won't. It could cause spam easily, and plus it could cause a lot of confusion oftenly

Yep. Being able to edit your posts is good enough and you can correct whatever mistakes you may have made. No real reason for us to delete our own posts.
