I will edit this post now.

Go to the three little dots at the bottom and the last option is edit post.

Aren't people now just going to be going back and de-wankering their posts when called out, and then other people will be screenshotting their pre-edit wankery and posting images of that in a a Rumpole of the Bailey style 'and here is my evidence that you're a wanker who said X!' kinda way?

This is exactly what's going to happen 😂

VoluptuaSneezelips · 23/08/2023 11:08

Oh can we do it on pc too?

EDIT: Yes we can. :Does a lil happy dance:

Wait what!

JustJoinedRightNow · 23/08/2023 11:09

Testing to see if this works - success!!

Chewbecca · 23/08/2023 11:10

It's 1109 and the post I made and edited at 1047 cannot be edited now.

Now editing and testing to see if you can only edit once...

Nope, this is a second edit...

And this a third

Tessisme · 23/08/2023 11:10

I tried. Don't see any option. Am on iPad app - maybe that's why. It's a bit crap anyway.

Ha! Am now on browser and it works😆

Seems I can't.

What am I doing wrong. I'm clicking on the 3 dots to the right of my post. No edit button on my Samsung Android app 🤷‍♂️

Edited

same for me, I guess it's only good for typo's or fixing bad wording immediately after you have posted, still a good feature though

It shows a button on the post that says 'edit' and if you click it it shows both the edited and unedited posts so people shouldn't need to screenshot anything.

Are you trying to edit the post once you have posted it? Sorry if a stupid question

You can't add photos to edits. But this is from a Samsung - android

Oh just realised it's not available on the app yet, oh well!

Tessisme · 23/08/2023 11:13

This thread is going to fill up fast🤣🤣

Probablynamechangefail · 23/08/2023 11:13

Yay!

hdbs17 · 23/08/2023 11:14

Nothing 😒

FOJN · 23/08/2023 11:15

Testing....

It's not an option on earlier posts.

Yay it works. I wonder how long the editing window is open?

senua · 23/08/2023 11:15

Testing.

Oh it does work, after all!
I tried earlier on a different thread and it didn't - perhaps because the post was too long ago.

Well done MN Tech Department.

Sockbabies · 23/08/2023 11:15

Loobieloogold · 23/08/2023 11:16

ooo - trying

Yey!

Inkpotlover · 23/08/2023 11:17

Testing...

Edited to update: Wow, it works!

(Although it looks like other posters can still see all previous versions, so if you edit a post to come across as less of a dick/troll/CF, posters can still see you were one.)

t1479 · 23/08/2023 11:17

Testing (could just trust you lot I guess...) Yay!
Ah, and you get a conspicuous "edited" flag and you can see the edit history. Perfect. Thanks MNHQ!
