UPDATE FROM MNHQ - new edit feature

[YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet]

We’re pleased to announce that we’re introducing an edit feature.

Historically, we’ve been hesitant to introduce edits because of concerns that historical revisions could cause confusion.

We’re mitigating this by implementing both a time limit (you’ll have a short period of time to edit your post) and ensuring the edit history will be visible to all. The edit feature is designed for minor corrections, such as fixing spelling mistakes and grammar errors that don't change the context of your post. It should not be used to change the overall meaning or intention of your original message. We’re adding a new report option so you can let us know if you think anyone is abusing the feature.

To edit your post:
Select the ‘...’ menu on the post you want to edit
Select ‘Edit’
Fix any mistakes
Select ‘Update’ to save your changes

To see the edit history of a post:
Select the ‘Edited’ label on the post

As some of you may know, we’re currently working on rebuilding our mobile Talk app so app users can access features that are available on our website. Whilst this work is underway, users won’t be able to edit their posts in the app, but they will be able to see when a post has been edited and view the edit history. iOS users will need to make sure they’ve updated to the latest version. The update for Android will be coming imminently and we’ll let you know when it’s available.

We know it’s frustrating for app users at the moment - the rebuild will be a huge improvement but it’s a huge job and is taking time. We really appreciate your patience.

We hope you find the edit button useful - we’ve added edit guidance to our Talk Guidelines, but if you’ve any questions or problems, please add to the thread.

Thanks, MNHQ

....yes I'm sure pointing out put that incorrect capital letter gave you great glee...

Oh yes, it absolutely did. Especially as you were so sanctimonious in your post, sitting on your high horse and saying 'why can people not being arsed to proof read their post before submitting it?'

You making an error yourself after that smug comment was delicious irony at its finest.

By the way, you missed the I out on your first sentence here too. Maybe you should have proofread your post.

hello
worked

Testing

Still not working

Hi everyone. If you're using the Android app, please update it in order to see edits. Thank you.

Hello @ssd apologies if you've already mentioned this, but which device are you using?

Test

Not working for me - iOS

Testing

Probably being dim but can't even see three dots, I'm on the App on my Ipad

It's right to the right of the word 'bookmark'...

@mulesrules Here you go. When you click on the 3 dots, (on the right of the word bookmark,) you should see this drop down menu... 'edit post' is at the bottom.

@FadeAwayAndRadiate that you but this is what I see on my Ipad

@mulesrules I didn't think it was on the app yet. Or did that change while I was away?

Oh well that's where I'm going wrong then😆

Ooooo! Exciting!

Im using my android phone on chrome

Please can you email us on [email protected] and we'll try and figure out what's going on here.

Hi, just want to test this out.

Got it, cheers.

Just testing

😎

On the app

Still can't edit

Or quote a quote

Or like a post

Or message /reply to people via message

All things I would like to do but can't as use the app

Same Blondes have to open up the mobile site to do anything

Is there any chance of the annoying thing where edited posts are in teeny tiny text instead of the text size chosen in accessibility settings might get fixed?

It's so slow and often even if I click on mobile it makes me go on the app regardless
