is it me or can you not edit posts anymore?

[slightlymad]

me neither

[Zombie-F]

I shut it off. There's a few members that are constantly editing, re-editing, and re-editing again what they post. It makes me a little suspicious as to what's going on. If all is well after a while, I'll re-enable it.

[slightlymad]

Zombie really I am jusy a bad keyboarder

[Big Howlin]

yeah sux cause i keep making mistakes :( Ah well.
I tried to post a pic from photobucket and it keeps showing up as a link? too big maybe? that wha happens?

[Da Weiner]

I don't think there is anything suspicious going on except I there are times especially in the games area that I will post an answer and someone else just posted while I was posting. I use the edit button to go in and change my answer to stay in sequence.

Especially in Person Above My Post :D

Put the offending parties on Double-Secret Probation for "excessive use of the edit button".

[Big Howlin]

ya

hahahaha :p

[dynoflyer]

The few, the proud, the bad keyboarders.

That would include me.

Since I can't use 'white out' I'm compelled to use the edit button to rectify typos caused by excessive, compulsive creative expression.

[Otaku]

It's all my fault! I've been deleting and replacing circuit attachments as I make changes.

[HibLaGrande]

Aw man , in the past I would need to edit my posts at least three times, my speeling is atroeshus. :)

[HibLaGrande]

I rely on the edit button to sound smarter than I really am! :(

[Big Howlin]

Yeah..lets add a speelcheck for LaGrande too.

[Big Howlin]

Spellcheck*

Damn...see, can't edit last post.

[Johnny Thunder]

My two cents (which count for nothing here but...........I'm annoying and will offer anyways)..........is that if it doesn't cost anything or cause any undue burdens on you, Z-F, I would re-enable the edit button for those of us who aren't up to anything nefarious. :D

Well, it's either all or none. A certain other forum doesn't have editing enabled and nobody seems to have a problem with that.

I'll turn it back on. But if I see posts being edited, edited again, and re-edited AGAIN weeks after the fact, then I'm shutting it off permanently. I can't have content constantly changing and/or disappearing like that.

[Zombie-F]

And as for the spell check thing... I suggest you switch to FireFox 2.0 and above as it has a spell checker built in that underlines misspelled words in red.

[slightlymad]

Thanks ZF were just spoiled little halloween freekys

[Big Howlin]

ya thanks dude!

[Johnny Thunder]

Cool. :D

Yes, FireFox is a wonderful thing!

Can you give us some idea what you are describing and WHY its a bad thing ? I don't see the point myself. If I want to go back and change a post to maybe correct something down the road after I find out I was wrong or I was having a bad day and it sounded wrong whats wrong with that ? I mean the person that posted is the only one that can edit unless your moderators are doing it for no good reason. It seems a little paranoid from my side of the street. I am just trying to make sure we are not getting into sensorship or something like that. I make mistakes and correct some of my posts the few that I make anyway since I am not a heavy poster in the first place. My .02 cents on the issue.

[Lilly]

yeah i wanted to edit something also at last minute and tried to stop it from posting and it posted 2 times but at least it didn't add to my post count that wouldnt be fair. so that was good.
If anyone has google toolbar they have a spell check in it and it will do all words mispelled.
now i just have to remember to use it once in a while!

The BAD thing in this that a person can post something negative/derogatory/hateful, and then change it before the mods see it. It's something I've been through before in a previous forum I ran, so it's something I'm a little apprehensive about having enabled in the first place.

[Big Howlin]

hmmm...i see

[KryptKittie69]

I LOVE the edit function!!!

As a mod, if I ever edit a members post, you can damn well better believe I had a good reason for doing it. I know what Z is talking about when it comes to this because I was there. In some instances on this board, even with the edit button in place, some folks REFUSE to use the function to correct atrocious spelling. I'm not talking about a word here or there, I'm talking about posts that would shame a pre-schooler. I will continue to move posts from the wrong posted forums AND I will edit when the occasion call's for it. That's MY .02 cents.

[KryptKittie69]

Sin,
you missed an 's' on "calls" in the sentence before your last.

:D

[turtle2778]

LOL...Nice one KK69!!!

[Sinister]

Thank you, KK! ;)

See? Correcting a minor mispelling isn't so hard to do...

[Sinister]

LOL...Nice one KK69!!!

Speaking of nice ones, don't you think it's time you started finding a "nice" pix to post in General Movie Picture Game?

I made a small error. It's not like I posted an entire spiel in Pig Latin like some people do around here. :rolleyes:

[Zombie-F]

Too many potshots here... I'm locking this one. I'll deal with it later on...

[Big Howlin]

hmmm...nice locking. lol
potshot!
