Editing posts?


Recommended Posts

I cannot seem to figure this out on the forum anymore... If I start a thread I can see the option to edit the first one, anything after that I cannot... any ideas?

Well there is a time limit on how long you have to edit posts. If you're the thread starter you can always edit your first post.

I recall a humourous comment by timdorr on the timelimit of the edit function.

/me goes off searching for it.

It's been this way since I joined... what do you dislike about it? What would you need to edit 20 mins (or whatever the time limit is) down the road?

No, it stays on so that in a debate, when someone is proven wrong, they can not simply go back and edit out their comment. This forum is much like life. It requires you to think before you speak.

mine was more or less along the lines of typos and such, I can see the point that bangbang makes, but I still despise it...

I don't think you're gonna get hassled over a bunch of typos. I know I make the odd spelling/grammar errors in my posts, but I still manage to get to sleep at night ;)

Excatly! I agree. You learn your wrongs and corrects them in life. Same here on the internet.

As OPaul said, you surely don't need 20 minutes, or whatever the timelimit is on, to read your post a second/third time and fix the typos.

I also reread my posts after I type them, but I have noticed that it is sometimes hours before you can not edit them anymore? (Not 20 minutes)

It's 40 minutes, Too much potential of abuse if it was unlimited.

the mods don't ignore PMs

Maybe they are just busy, but mine don't get responded to often. Same with threads I report to get something changed. (Thread title, mistake, etc)
