post editing

[allcart]

How do you edit your post after you have made it. I hate spelling mistakes and typing errors.

You can't with out a moderators help until you hit 250 posts I'm afraid.

My browser spell checks as I go fortunately

Thanks Kai. Only 100 posts to go then.

So does mine Kai, but it doesn't stop me still making some howlers!!

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

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.

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.

Then maybe there is some GOOD REASON for this that I am missing. Perhaps someone would care to elucidate.

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 .
