Ain't nobody got time to use preview.

Mehitabel6 · 19/12/2014 22:55

I agree- I never use the preview and only spot the mistakes afterwards. I know I could use it,but I don't want to.

usualsockpuppet3333333 · 19/12/2014 22:55

MN don't do up to date.

Takes less than 30 seconds.

Just saying.

i never use preview either and wouldn't really post if i though too hard about it. spelling and grammar mistakes are annoying though and i would like the opportunity to correct if possible, so 30 seconds would be enough time to do that.

It''s when you use the wrong there ,their ,they're and you know the pedants are teeth itching and starting threads about you that makes you cringe.

BaffledSomeMore · 19/12/2014 23:10

Hmmpf. I'd need a 3 minute edit with my phone. It's throwing teenage strops these days and ignores me.

mrsfuzzy · 20/12/2014 02:16

no one's perfect.

YellowTulips · 20/12/2014 02:37

Yes - given I just posted about my DH BF//FF'ing himself when obviously I meant DH FF DS Grin

Wow - got a 3x MN acronym there Confused

daisychain01 · 20/12/2014 06:22

You could add a request to the site stuff section?

Andrewofgg · 20/12/2014 06:44

Nonsense MrsFuzzy MN children are perfect, at least compared to other children!

But you can't edit life southeast

CaptainAnkles · 20/12/2014 06:49

You don't get to preview on the app

RojaGato · 20/12/2014 08:14

It's not so much preview.

It's more I always think of something to add a few seconds afteri hit send and have to post a second time

RojaGato · 20/12/2014 08:15

And then look like a dozy twat

MammaTJ · 20/12/2014 09:02

You don't get to preview on the app

I do! I can also post pictures! Not quite sure why I can and others can't!

badfurday · 20/12/2014 09:07

I agree a 30 second edit button would be handy. I don't find this site very user friendly. The ap is awful and I find the site very slow to load on any laptop/pc I use.

CakeAndWineAreAFoodGroup · 20/12/2014 09:12

I think an "agree" or "like" button would be good so the message could say "x-number of people agree with you" :)

Not wanting the reverse, so you would see "x-number of people think you're a twat" of course Grin

I don't see why you can't edit your own posts either. Other forums have that tool.

ChippingInLovesChristmasLights · 20/12/2014 09:12

No, no a thousand times no.

Thankfully MN see it the same way Xmas Grin

...and I say that as a new ipad owner, so plenty of mistakes and I definitely don't preview my posts.

CyclopsBee · 20/12/2014 09:15

I read it as men need a 30 second edit Confused

ChippingInLovesChristmasLights · 20/12/2014 09:17

No, no a million times no to 'like'.

Thankfully MN see that the same way too Xmas Grin

It's a chat forum, not a mindless 'click' forum!

Other sites have lots of things we don't want here, it's why we like it here! As you say, plenty of other sites if you like those things Xmas Smile
