I know it's not a hard techno topic and that, sorry, but where is the edit button gone and why is it gone ? :rambo:

I think it was removed due to "abuse"
...
yes, ive seen mark mention that it was removed to stop people editing posts after arguments so it doesnt look like they had started it e.t.c, although it does seem to re-appear every now and then which is strange
Only Administrators can edit.
I don't think we really need it.
Not having the edit button forces people to think about what they say before they post.
We would much rather have a forum of like minded individuals who have something to discuss and contribute instead of 12 year olds who just want to start gossip and leave without any repercussion for their actions.
Sorry to sound all rozzerish, but it's a good thing we have going here.
Lets work together to protect it.

some boards have a function where you have 3 minutes to edit it or something, that way if you make a retarded spelling mistake or mistype a url or whatnot, you can change it right away. i always liked that idea...
i wondered where it was cos i cant delete my posts :cry:
yeah that's the reason I like the edit button, if I make a spelling error or leave out a word or somethingQuote:

Son't be a smart arse :nono: If it's a long mail or over a certain amount of lines it can be possible not to get everything. Anyway it's no big deal, I preferred it when it was here that's all.Quote:

edit buttons are handy tools but can be used by shit stirrers too often!!
Fair point ;) It's a handy old button though, in fairness I've never been on a board before where I had an edit button so I guess maybe I was being spoilt here, either that or I'm just a pedantic ****er who welcomes the chance to correct myself if I've left out a comma or put in an extra 'the' or stuff like that !Quote:
