An Edit Button! My Kingdom for an Edit Button!

Post by BenRG »

This might not be the right place to mention this, but the ST vs. SW board has a huge bug: The edit and delete buttons don't appear on your own posts. I am not the only fast typist with poor spelling and grammar skills who is getting frustrated.

So, Admins and Mods, where are the edit buttons on the 'verses' board?

Help!

What the hell are you talking about? Check under your username/avatar. They're there. Also make sure you're logged in, and have chosen to stay so.

EDIT!

Ohhh, wait a minute. DW did that deliberately, to prevent people from changing what they said! It's a defense against liars and deceitful types.

Well, I can see the reasoning, but it is still pretty hard on us high-error-level types... :x

You can always reply to yourself and say you mistyped. It's what we do on the NGs.

Haha, but pointing out that it's useless is useless as well, since anyone can see that. That also makes this post useless, but... :P

EDIT: Hey, the ability to edit posts is back :o
