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

Only there's no dots at the bottom of mine 😟 does it not work in the app?

TheRockAndTheDeepBlueSea · 23/08/2023 22:27

Naice!

Edit: Thanks mnhq. Finally!

another edit: I wonder how long it lasts or if it disappears after some time like on some sites. One of the ones I'm on, you have 24 hours to edit a post, then the button disappears.

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!

autocorrect issue?

this was more urgent tbh. Then they will get more traffic as we spend more time re-correcting our changed words by their autocorrection.

yeah, I did mean to add regardless if it showed 'edited'. people go on and on to force words or meaning on other's words- so annoying.

I just say' Sorry...Happy?' just to bloody move on.

Wow only 25 previous threads telling us the sane!

How about you give it a try, then?
It’s news to me - thanks @OleMioSole

CaroleSinger · 23/08/2023 22:48

Nope. No edit button for me? Oh yes! 😳

Meredusoleil · 23/08/2023 21:49

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

Yes! I thought it was just me.

FlamingYam · 23/08/2023 22:54

So when's it coming on this app that looks straight out of the 80s?

Redavocadoes · 23/08/2023 22:59

Testing

Redavocadoes · 23/08/2023 23:00

Nah, doesn't work on the app 🙄

Whoknowswhatanymore · 23/08/2023 23:14

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.

No, because you can click the 'edited' button in the original post to see what was originally said.

Editing to see whether you can edit more than once

Yes, you can

CircleofWillis · 24/08/2023 06:59

Tresting

CircleofWillis · 24/08/2023 07:01

Well that didn't work for me. I'm in the app.

Get ready for gaslighting from the more goady ones

I thought there was a reporting option if you feel that the facility is being abused.

Your comment is goady in my opinion.

NeedToChangeName · 24/08/2023 07:05

Tested

EarringsandLipstick · 24/08/2023 07:07

Not yet but it says it's on the way

Those on the app will be waiting a while. According to MN's update yesterday the app upgrade is a huge project taking some time.

Already you can't quote quoted posts on the app - which I don't mind as think the endless quoting gets really irritating and much prefer c&p relevant text & bold, then reply. But on the app, quoted posts of quoted posts only show the first post & latest quote so often don't make sense (and lead to rows when other posters don't realise there was another post or posts in between.

I much prefer the app. I really don't like the desktop site with its myriad of pointless features. I dread to think what the next iteration of the app will be.

ssd · 24/08/2023 07:09

Its not working for me so i cant find out..

But i have a question...why would i want to edit my post, is it for reading your post after its been posted and going back in and checking your spelling or is it for deleting stuff you posted maybe ages ago as its not something you now want online?

Im confused

EthicalNonMahogany · 24/08/2023 07:10
