Hello,

I have been spending time at another forum. It's fine though, it's not parenting one.

Anyway, to the point.

This other forum has a little but you can go back into your post to edit it. It would be great for illiterate people like me who make many errors from time to time.

Can we have this ? Please.

It also has starts to rate threads but I don't want that here, it may cause a problem or 23.

Thanks in advance.

Morning all!

We have considered the editing thing before - and decided against because we thought it might cause confusion.

Eg 'AIBU to hate babies'?
'Yes you are BU'
Then OP changed to 'AIBU to love babies'

See what we mean?

But if everyone feels very strongly about this, we're happy, of course, to have look at it again.

By the way, there is a Preview Message button next to the Post Message button that lets you look at and correct your message before you post.

PhaseAte: you can customise your settings so that you always see the last post on a thread first.

Go to the Customise link (next to Topics link) and change the Reading Direction to Most Recent First.

"The only person who uses edit at the moment is YMT - he always gets dates wrong in his posts & then changes it, leaving the 10 people who pointed it out looking like idiots....."

How very dare you! I've not done that for days weeks months. Besides, these days I let the more-than-capable tech whipper-snappers answer your ever whim.

My favourite feature from some other forums is where admins can set it so that a troublesome user's posts are visible only to that user - nobody else can see them. They merrily post their nonsense and get rather frustrated when nobody seems to care...
