Editing Pain In The A**

    O.K. I'm not in a particularly jovial mood so this is the day for me to complain. Actually it's more of an observation.
    When we need to edit a typo.(with me that's almost always) we can only edit *ONCE*. If we discouver that we also made another typo or decide to add to our content we are out of luck. You *cannot* edit a post a second time. What you have to do therefore is to leave the post then click on the forum header, and then go back to the post and then edit again. Big fat pain in the backside!:mad:

    P.S. Someone might be tempted to write,"Just get it right the 1st time!" Don't write that because if you do,I'll bite your head off.;)

    I often edit multiple times in a row without ever leaving the thread. I don't think the problem is universal, perhaps it is unique to your browser or something else on your end.

    I believe on the old forum software you could only edit your thread/post once as there was a time limit for when you can make edit's.

    Prolly same goes for the settings on here with the new forum software. I'm all for editing time limits as when people create threads in the BST section, if the thread creator can edit the thread as many times as he wants, he could change the price's, the products, he or she can really screw things up by editing there post.

    Just don't make mistakes the first time writing. lol

    Maybe there can be a fee for editing your thread/post more then 1 time. $1 per edit. lol
