Editing posts

Hi Mark

This is a great forum and many of us are nutty as fruit cakes but we do have a laugh as well as getting some great info from legal issues to directions to the water parks!!! It's all here. So here is a belated bling for you...........

And something for you to send to the nasties of the other forum.

Right that's it now..........

Been to docs so missed this. Agree with the editing thingy. Likely put some off posting if they can't edit though. I edit if I add something or see a spelling mistake generally or just look at it & think, that looks all wrong, better clarify myself, seeing as I got GCE in English. 

Bloody hell fire, the wind here is strong, think roof's about to come off. Wind seems to rush around in attic after getting in under eaves. Loft access once fell open, scared the sh*t out of us. Wind howls as it whips past wc overflows too, really eeiry.  

 Possibly a foolproof way of  avoiding the situation where some-one edits a post to the extent that it make no sense to subsequent readers is to use the 'copy and paste' method. I have seen it on other boards and it works like this:-

You 'select ' and 'copy' the post to which you are going to reply and then 'paste' it into your reply box. I do believe some members on EOS already do this.

It can be a little long winded, and ruin the spontaneity of a reply/reposte, but it will certainly clarify what has being said if the original message has for some reason been severely edited by it's author.

It will also put a spanner in the works of any of those mischievous trolls and elves that are lurking.

Edited to add:- Goat Curry!! No thank you!!

Hi Mark,

The only Trolls I knew of, until your post, were; the ugly little dolls with wild, 'day-glo' green, orange, and pink coloured hair, and the mythical creatures in Norse mythology.

After a little 'Googling' I now know that the Trolls which lurk on the internet can be far more vicious and damaging in their 'sick' agenda.

Thank you.

You can read about Trolls here

 OK with me, Justin.

Edited to add :  Now, any chance of a proper  "preview" of actual post as it will show on forum as it's not the same as just looking at what we write here currently.  I asked endless months ago. I know you said at the time it wasn't the easiest thing to do but maybe you can do it now you've introduced this edit not permitted unless you posted last.

Thanks Justin.

Great news, thanks Justin.

Wa hey

Mark

Has the edit facility been changed in the development forums too Justin? There was a post in one of the forums earlier this morning and I noticed it had been removed even after another message was posted.

Any news on when the preview function will be available?

Thanks

Mark

Double post sorry. Got a 404 error when sending to the server.
