It seems we are now given very little time, or none at all, to correct any spelling mitsakes or ungood grammer what we have writed.
 
 

Hi,
 
Other than one liners, of which I am not proficient, I write all my replies on Notepad, and after checking them, I post them. Slows it a bit, but helps think things through for me.

I think a much better edit policy (if this forum software supported it?) would be to allow unlimited silent edits until the next reply is posted, after which edits would be marked. A reply suggests that someone has responded to what you wrote, so going back and editing what you wrote would be potentially unfair to the person to replied unless the edit was marked. But while nobody has responded to a post, I don't see the harm in editing it silently to your heart's content. 

Is there a noisy edit time too? 

Hi,
 
I think the "idle" time, of an "open" connection offers more issues and problems in terms of security, this closing them down some makes sense.
 
On the other hand, it's also an issue with the modern way of life ... make everything shorter, including people's attention spans!
 
Sorry ... just another idea of mine for people that are just looking to trap you into the "establishment" society! You have no say or feelings or anything that will help them change for the better and more educated side of things which include all of us.
 
As I like to say ... "we're not all monkeys on this bus!"

Yup, that's how I would like to see it too. I could even go a stage further and not allow edits at all after a direct response. People should either have to stand by comments they made or retract them in another post if they later feel that they said something they shouldn't have. Might make people think twice about what they actually write if they're going to have to live with it, rather than delete or edit to try and hide the fact that they've made a fool of themselves later on.

Funniest post by Pedro EVAH!!!

I know there are no silent edits for me. It's all "gal dang it!", "well I'll be go to hell" and "gawd, what a dumbass I am!!" And a smattering of curse words for good measure.

With additional accolades due for beginning with the understatement of the century.

Not necessarily for reasons of spell-checking, but I do occasionally paste a longish post into Word every paragraph or so.
 
Force of habit I guess, as I've been exasperated enough in the past when the forum software has decided to swallow my words into the ether never to be seen again. Mind you, to be fair, it has seemed less inclined to do so of late, and even the 'saved draft' feature works now and again.

Another request I'd make would be to allow the 'Quick Reply' window to display all the same editing and formatting options we get in the 'Full Version'.
