Editing Posts

I seem to have lost the ability to edit my posts? What's going on?

You have to be quick ! Your ability to edit times out after umm, I forget how long.

It is all very tedious for all us dilexiculls wot only notice after a while,

so often quick topical posts dont get sent at all, just in case,

and substantive posts spend so long in Notepad first that they never ever get out ! !

I think you get half an hour - if you still have a problem PM one of the Mods and we will sort it for you.

[Astralstroll]

Maybe it was the half hour rule. I noticed an annoying typo that I wanted to correct in another post. I will be sure to check next time as soon as I post.

For some reason I think it is 15 minutes.

I always recheck just after posting, then I try to avoid the thread again for as long as possible.

Is there a spell checker any

were we can use on the SGL site.

That is my main problem.Spelling.

Steve, your browser should have one built in.

Chrome and Firefox do.

IE 11 will underline  spelling errors and right clicking on the word will give you a drop down of "options" for the correct word/spelling...

Ant > Where in Firefox ? Does it need enabling first ? I use Firefox and have never seen it

Grote > What I do is always have a Google tab open and if one of my worms loos suspicious I copy&paste it there which then gives either a list of similar searches or a "do you mean " error

But that needs it looking suspicious in the first place !!

Bizi > if I were to PM about all mine you'd soon get tired of me !

The strange thing is that even though I might compose and correct in Notepad it always looks different when posted in white&black, so there is always a "Doh!" moment lol!

Mind-u, it might be a good thing if it all cuts down my posting rate, big sighs of relief and nodding heads all round LOL.

Thank you very much.It   works.

I always wondered what the red  

lines were for.  No more

Spelling mistakes now

In Firefox the incorrectly spelt word is just underlined - to my knowledge it doesn't need turning on it just works

[Ptarmigan]

That must mean that my Firefox gave up on me long ago, or it just ran out of underlines ! !

Cos mine doesnt underline anything

For Firefox, go to 'Tools' > 'Options' > 'General' and tick the 'check my spelling as I type' box

Thanks , , ,  ,  but !

I had to go to Tools  > Options > Advanced > General and in the "Browsing" specs ,

the box is already ticked !! Oh drat, pesky software, it lies !!

Sigh.
