That edit button, but with a compromise....

[ItsAllGoingToBeFine]

MNHQ, could we please, please have a timed edit function? I would be prepared to lose the preview button in exchange

but the preview button is your chance to edit...

It is, but is rarely used. You see people correcting their posts in a second post all of the time.

Oh not this again! We just had one of these.

Does anyone use the preview button except maybe if they're trying out a link or emoticon?

Wouldn't it be feasible to have some sort of edit where the original was still available - so people could clean up DYACs, spelling and grammar errors but couldn't really go in for gaslighting?

Id rather have a quote button me.

I want AIBU obliterated. It is embarrassing and shameful. They can edit AIBU to the nth degree.

I agree Errol. Maybe if the correction was in red then the intended meaning would be clear but it couldn't be abused to deny what was originally said.

Or an edit function that times out after 60secs. I think its a psychological thing, you only spot typos after you have posted ,even if you have previewed. Preview also doesn't help all those times a fat thumb hits post half way through posting.

Edit function for five minutes after posting.

And yes please to a quote function.

And a LIKE button.

And free cake? Or am I just pushing my luck?

ah, yes, i'm sure on my chicken forum, when you editted a post, the correction was in a different colour - that's what we need, red or green for corrected, and when you hover over, it tells you what the original post said

we DO not want a Like button ffs

and we already have

the edit function on FB means you can see what was originally typed
