  • Post Editing Feature

    How do you feel about the EDIT POST feature?

    • Useful and necessary?
    - or -
    • "Back-peddling" way out? lol

    In a perfect world, I'd rather not. It gives the original post more believability and substance when the post remains original from the start.

    Yet, as much as I attempt to proof pre-post, for one reason or another I often end up having to add/remove content, correct a typo' or realize I just said something that sounds really dumb (O.K., no jokes now!)

    I hate when that happens.

    There is a time limit where you can go back and fix the mistakes that you did on your post, I can't remember what that time limit is. After that time has expired you can't change the post, but I suppose you could post a response to it saying what was wrong with it.

          and this is one reason admin wants us to use it; to prevent too many un neccessary individual posts. Ya notice how admin combines posts by one person within one thread?

            Psst ... Pomai ... it's "pedaling."

            OK, I can't sleep, so I'm nitpicking on HT. Sorry!

              How the heck did I get that other "L" in there? Must have been late.
              See what I mean.. I hate it when that happens!

              Nitpicking accepted. One of my biggest self-inflicted peeves are making spelling errors (next to misplacing my car keys. lol).

              God Bless "post edit".

                  IMO, the only time its proper to use the edit function for posts older than 2 hours, is in the classified section, or if we have a picture thread and you want to update your picture.
                  How'd I get so white and nerdy?
