hi,
sorry if this question has already been asked on this forum section, I didn't take a look on the posts, nor never go here anyway.

is there any way to enable users to edit their posts ? at least just once : I hate let a post with mistakes, grammar or formatting errors in ...

thanks kmoney for my post correction, but as I didn't find any private message function, I post this there

again, sorry if the question has been answered 654654 times, but ... why this technology choice ? wouldn't be better to let users correct their own posts ? what's wrong with the editting feature ?

Yes, i noticed you and how you want to edit. Its been suggested.
i dont now if i want edit or if editting just but lft

OMG LEMME EDIT

FFS ITS INSANE TO LET A LAME MISTAKES INFESTED POST PLZ HAVE MERCY

us frenchs don't like unperfection ya know : we might be the bloodiest bastards while talking, but for the writing ... no it's like a disease for us to let a text with mistakes and not be able to correct it, like "MY LIFE IS A NIGHTMARE : EVERYBODY WILL FORGET THE LAME THINGS I SAID THAT'S OK, BUT EVERYBODY WILL REMEMBER THE ONLY TEXT WHERE I DID MISTAKES IN OMG NO".

The reasoning behind this is that people have been known to ask a question, then get a reply, and then change the first post to make the replier look stupid, thereby alienating the replier from all newbies.

If you really want, I'll make all your posts into my almost-perfect Englush ;).

I request that!

Englush

rest assured, monkey, you will never live that down.

Watch him delete this post and fix his.

these people you are talking are just lamers ... aren't moderators supposed to deal with this behavior, instead of disabling such useful function for everybody ?

what about disable every functions then ? included post writing, to be 100% sure that lamers won't be able to make anybody look stupid ...

Shhh.. Be quiet or he'll disable YOU!

I don't mind not being able to edit my posts, it's not such a big deal.
If you make sure that your post is understandable and doesn't have too many grammatical errors then you don't really need an Edit function, do you?

I am used to edit every of my posts at least ... three times, and up to ten, seriously

I don't care that much of being disabled, I mean, you're a nice community given all of those I tried to join, with some mature and/or funny topics, but as I am not able to complete my map project on both Hammer3.4/CS1.6 and Hammer4/CSS, I feel like a stranger here, 'am so frustrated that everybody look like to be able to use Hammer4 but me ...

the real point of that topic was that : is the fact that it isn't possible to edit posts a technical fast (it isn't really possible to enable users to edit their posts), or that's because the moderators/admins don't want to let people use that function, and if this is it, why ?

Editing your post up to ten times? Now thats just sad.

I think the advantages of editing your own posts will out weigh the disadvantages. Maybe if the forums appended a

Edit: [Time] by [Person]

If a post was edited?

Shouldn't it be the other way around, like:

Edited by dandyli0n` at 10:33:50

...instead of:

Edit: 10:33:50 by dandyli0n`

And plus, if you revise your own post before clicking your post button, you might not need "teh" edit.

Nice one, Alex. As ministeve said, you will never live that down.

rest assured, monkey, you will never live that down.

Dude!

They say only Americans don't understand sacrasm!

I think the only real reason is that nobody but atom can, and atom... isn't here.

Sure, sarcasm.

I bet....

and i get sarcams...

Dumb question: Who is Alex?

Alex = Seventh-Monkey

Luke = IEMC

I wish TWHL had a poll so that we could see who wants the edit function.

Most people want it. No need for a poll.

No need for one. Get over it. It is an option which is abused way too often, and it is just fine the way it is now.

Why don't you just freaking proof read your posts?

Lemme edit or face the wrath of the double post!

MY GOD, WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TOO!
WHO THE HELL CARES ABOUT WHAT OTHERS THINK ABOUT YOUR GRAMMAR! : :

Erm, you do, or nobody does. Nobody else is very likely to care about what other people think of somebody else's grammar.

I kinda care about mine.

I dont at all care about anyone elses as long as its read-able.

jsust prooof reda yore posst

(im j/k, btw)

Not that my opinion is shit or anything But if you proof read, then the edit button is useless....besides, whats it really matter? Its just a forum, not a chat box. As long as you get your question, or reply across and its readable....then its all good
