Its a well known fact I write a lot of tosh. My spelling sucks and the ways of HTML formatting or whatever weirdo shizzle this uses are but a mystery to me.

But sometimes I would actually like to correct some of my badly structured mis-spelt shite. I only have a Button that says 'delete' as an option. Unfortunately I am reluctant to use said button because this stuff doesn't write itself you know! its a strictly one shot mental out pouring that is fleeting and instant. The chances of me writing the same rubbish twice are incy wincy tiny.

So have you done me a terrible injustice or is that it for the Community contributors? Who all said and done are the very lifeblood and sinew that hold this place together.

I shall be writing to my MP.

Write to your MP.

See if I care.

 

I'm not sure Hugo. I'm not able to see what 'commands' are available to regular members.

But I have noticed that some members can edit their own posts…like this one from BeefKr10z:

http://d1060657.u211.pipeten.co.uk/fo…..me/#p26713

 

Can we have a straw poll to see who HAS and who HAS NOT got the power to edit their own posts please?

Can edit mine happily enough. Observe my cocksure strut and reckless posting.

 

The button should live where you'll find 'send pm' on anyone else's post.

I have the edit button. Maybe it's because Hugo left 'the service'? Perhaps he's been improperly debriefed?

 

Edit: Hey look, I totally edited my post, doods.

I think you can edit until someone responds to your post, then the edit button dissapears.

 

Makes sense really… not so much on the good ship MLG but on lesser forums you get 'numpties' who start a thread by saying somthing offensive then after everyone shouts them down in subsiquent posts they go back and edit their origional post to remove the offensive comment and it makes it look like they are the reasonable one and everyone is over reacting… it happens a lot on the Lionel Blair appreciation forum I use.

I'm sure you could edit following a response as i was running the Game of the month section and was editing the first post before I had the powers of Valhalla bestowed upon me.

 

I could however be wrong. surprised

I only have a delete button.

I used to have a whole starship navigation interface, including the emergency flux capacitor Ban Hammer.

 

I miss that button frown

Do you mean bigger generally, or just the contents of 'her' underwear?
