It seems to me that the edit button on posts used to last longer than they do now. It disappears pretty quick. Can we lengthen that bit?

It's currently at 10 minutes, I don't know if it can be lengthened, I will ask. But why is everyone so concerned about editing their posts?? :lol:

Good news and bad news!

The good news is you can edit your post for 10 minutes!

The bad news is you can't edit your post after 10 minutes have passed.


Say what you mean and mean what you say, because after 10 minutes it's stuck that way :lol:

Sometimes my spell checker misses something or I don't notice the mistake till later so it would be nice to be able to edit for a while after my post. It is what it is but many my other forums have a much longer edit time or no time out at all but I'm sure it depends on what software you use.

Yea got same problem, my spell check on this device was designed on another planet, changes the words. So the say what you mean and mean what you say can sometimes be changed by bad spell check. Then it's really not what you mean.....lol.

I've got my share of autocorrect crumbs all over this forum too :lol:

Pretend you're sending an email or text - two forms of communication that over a decade old and can't be edited after you send it - and read your post before you send it if you're worried. Otherwise, accept that sometimes we all make mistakes and no one is judging you for your autocorrect mishaps ;)

By all means, what does it mean? Not being mean or that, you know what I mean...just can mean so much.
:laughing6:
Just having some fun with quotes from one of my favorite movies, thought it kinda fit and we can't have enough The Princess Bride quotes in the world. ;)

That's me scuppered. I suffer from dyslexic fingers and pedantry. Mind though, going back and posting corrections seperately will boost my post count. :dancing:
