Wot! No EDIT button?

[jambutty]

There is an EDIT button once you make your post but then after a while it disappears. Why?

 

[Less]

Where have you been the past couple of days?

Try this

Edit button missing

This question was asked in an earlier thread and answered by Roy,Jambutty.I believe it was in the suggestions and feedback section

 

[AccyJay]

I really don't mind either way. I would be good, if only to correct spelling mistakes. However, as stated in another thread, some people are abusing the "edit" system to make other people look foolish.

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

I must try to check for typos before the edit option expires!

 

[Mick]

I see you have not seen this thread Jambutty
http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f63/edit-button-missing-25123.html
have a look at Roy's post
Until this is sorted the edit button will not be back

 

[accymel]

Please bring it back to save on embarrassing freudian slipped typos

It will only be put back on when Roy is ready to do so sorry

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

Are we still on red alert or have we moved to amber yet?

 

[jambutty]

Much obliged Less and mthead.

I didn’t see that thread.

However talking of missing buttons/links. What has happened to the report post link?

By the way WillowTheWhisp, I type my posts in Word so most spelling errors or typos are either corrected as I type or a highlighted to draw my attention to them. Good as the spelling checker on Word is it cannot differentiate between a wrongly spelled word if the result just happens to be a legitimate word so I still have to read through what I have typed. Even then I sometimes miss something and it only comes to light later on, even days later. An EDIT button would be useful in such cases.

But I take the point that some people ‘fiddle’ with their posts for reasons best known to themselves to make any responses appear stupid.

It takes all sorts I guess. Sad really!

Thanks Mick but Less has already pointed me in the right direction.

Owwww that means im gonna continue to have the micky taken out of my typos more now....oh the shame can Roy supply me with brown paper bags to hide the embarrassment then till its back

DOnt blame me if thread wanders all too quick cos someone spots a freudian in my post

It's still there, perhaps you were looking at your own post at the time? (No, I'm not suggesting you were going to report yourself), your own posts are the only place the report button doesn't show.

 

[jambutty]

Thanks mick and Less I’ve spotted it now.

I guess I’m more senile than I thought.

Before you make a post, you can check the spelling by using the "Spell Check" feature on the new post box by pressing the button that looks like this:

I think the edit post should be limited to 30 mins, then like Roy mentions no-one can make a post and then edit their first one making other replies look silly, like many people were doing. If people can't behave, they ruin it for the others.

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

What does it look like Neal?

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

Are you meaning on BurnleyWeb Neal? (because I can't see one here on AccyWeb.) I remember we did have one once.

 

[garinda]

No there it is.

I've never noticed it before.

What a result.

You have to download it to use it.
