Editting post

[Christo]

Is there a way to edit your post once it has been made? Say, to correct an sp mistake? I've looked and looked but can't seem to find it

[Scellanis]

Nope, members cannot edit posts but you can ask the moderator of the section you posted in if its really important.

[Christo]

No, nothing important, just don't like to look like I can't type or spell simple words

[Scellanis]

Hehe, best to just take the time to reread what you typed before pressing submit...

[GodrictheGriffon]

In some sections there are though. Why is that?

[Scellanis]

there are what?

In some parts of the board, you are able to edit your own posts. Can't think of which forums now, but I have seen an 'edit' option next to the quote for some of my posts.

it's definitly in the comon rooms, not sure about anywhere else

[Scellanis]

Hmm... well I wouldn't notice that as I moderate the common room so I can edit anyway.

You're right about the Common Rooms. The other places you can edit , arethe Common Rooms, the Harry Potter Fan Fiction forum, and the Other Fan Fiction and Writing forum.

There were a few other places that I had missed out and which still had editing enabled but I've turned these to Moderator-Only editing now.

The main reason editing is currently turned off is to ensure no-one posts any nasty messages and then tries to hide it later by editing it out.

Once the big "Olympus" upgrade to the board is in its final version, it looks like there may be a time-limited editing facility available wher you'll be able to edit within a set number of minutes after posting, but after that period has gone the editing facility disappears. This is exactly the type of thing that would be the ideal choice, and if this facility is available, editing will be turned on throughout the entire forum.

Olympus is able to work with Linux, right?
