allcart Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 How do you edit your post after you have made it. I hate spelling mistakes and typing errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sologuitarist61 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 My browser spell checks as I go fortunately So does mine Kai, but it doesn't stop me still making some howlers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glowjet Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 And just a further point to watch out for, when you reach your 250 posts, I believe you will only have 30 minutes to check and correct, I also have a spell check, but it does not help when you make dramatical errors John.

cantharis Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Why on earth do you have to have a certain number of posts before you can edit out your typos? I have joined hundreds of forums devoted to a wide range of topics over the years and have never come across this idea before.Makes no sense at all to me.

The Sailor Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Makes sence to me.I would like to see the ability to change the fonts taken away, fed up opening a thread to see a miniscule font and having to squint to read, I now give up.Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantharis Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Makes sence to me.Then maybe there is some GOOD REASON for this that I am missing. Perhaps someone would care to elucidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sailor Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Yes, it ensures that we don't have hit and run artists who post drivel just for the fun of it, edit their post and leave no evidence, this way it ensures that people who have an interest in astronomy stay the course. I try and not use the edit by reading my post and correct if possible then post, try it sometime, it works .Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
