Click the three dots at the bottom right of your post, there will be an 'edit post' button, Enjoy!
So excited thanks @MNHQ

Thank you I hadn’t seen this.

It works!!

LaFemmeAnglaise · 23/08/2023 21:12

What happens when someone quotes a post.
does the quoted post stay as the original was, or does that change as well I wonder?
guess we’ll find out soon enough!

LaFemmeAnglaise · 23/08/2023 21:13

Somebody quote me and then I’ll edit!

edit: does this bit here also appear in the quoted post as well as the original ?

Go on then

Yes it does!

LizzieSiddal · 23/08/2023 21:16

Omg I’m leaning so much on this thread, I didn’t realise you could quote posts by clicking the 3 dots. I thought you had to pay a subscription to do that.😂

LaFemmeAnglaise · 23/08/2023 21:16

It does!
soooo…that means that some threads could end up being hard to follow, no?

FutureThroughLensOfThePast · 23/08/2023 21:16

Yes, it does!

LaFemmeAnglaise · 23/08/2023 21:17

Thanks @FutureThroughLensOfThePast 😊

But you're only really supposed to correct mistakes. MNHQ won't mind us just testing the feature, hopefully, but making edits that are additions would be against guidelines 'in real life'.

Healingvibes · 23/08/2023 21:48

Gotta try this

Meredusoleil · 23/08/2023 21:49

Also noticing the edited posts seem to shrink in font size?!?

anotheranotheranotheranother · 23/08/2023 21:50

How long do we have to make an edit?

editing to say I deliberately left out the fact I hadn’t RTFT so sorry if it’s been answered, but I just wanted an excuse to edit

mightymam · 23/08/2023 21:50

Testing, testing...

Yes. That's a good question!

Okay, so I didn't RTFT and am on the app so will have to wait a little. Boo!

ChocolateCakeOverspill · 23/08/2023 21:54

Will it work? Yes it does!

Fivethirtyeight · 23/08/2023 22:00

Thank you!

TurkeyHolidayPlanning · 23/08/2023 22:00

Wow

TicTacNicNak · 23/08/2023 22:02

Not a moment too soon

😃

Testina · 23/08/2023 22:12

About bloody time!
This is so long awaited I don’t care if the entire first page is threads about it - so thanks @OleMioSole 👏🏻

Snowy2022 · 23/08/2023 22:18

So please will be able to go back and change and argue ad infinitum as to what they said or not said? I already skip over those silly arguments derailing threads so now I need a strategy to avoid them.

Iclyn · 23/08/2023 22:20

Can I edit

Ooh look Yes I can !

Testina · 23/08/2023 22:23

Or just change their please/people autocorrect issue? 😀

It does show when an edit has been made. Won’t stop silliness but at least you’ll know it may be there.

On balance, I’m all for it!
