We Armor Gamers, should be able to edit our forum posts...
We all know, we will alway's have a typo that we want to edit.
But we cant, like when you uploaded a image wrong?
And you obviously have to post another message putting the right combinations ?
"There should be a Edit Button, it is very helpful"

Like when you want post a looonggg comments & you wan't NO typos on it, but you missed a typo, reading the whole thing?

Well, guys, if you think this is a good idea, to have an EDIT Button, please post a reply here.

Moderators, please reply too.

Thanks.

Just so that you won't make such threads again...Here's the full list of what not to suggest again.

Period.

Anyway, yes, this is most liekly the best thing to implement, well, besides getting a previem button (which would lead to less confussion).
Besides, who cares too much about typos? Yourself, when you spot one, but otherwise, as loong as you do not type liek tis, you will be okay in most cases.

You know, instead of constantly saying "this needs to be locked", "this has been suggested
before", "Mods lock this", how about going with the flow of the program here?? This is
exactly why mods lock threads, because people always spam about it needing to be locked. If
not, then the thread would just die and be sent to older pages, but things like this would just
keep bumping up the thread, making room for more people to repeat the process, until a mod
finally locks it.


If you REALLY do feel the need to post here, when you already know it needs to be locked, and
someone else already reminded them of that detail, then continue discussion about it. Otherwise,
all you are doing is spam.

Now, about this edit feature. Wouldn't it be more effective for it to be a preview button
instead? That way, we can see our post before it is shown, before we get embarrassed and
people get confused over the changing of messages? Yes of course, this has been suggested
before, but maybe with enough threads requesting it, the feature might finally be added.

Then maybe re-read your post... for mistakes or typos.. No need for a EDIT button.

Yeah, dunno what happened to that, had it before I quit, you gotta re-read your post now, like Brenda said, but the thing is if you come up with something else later. I find a need for the return of the edit button, besides it can only help.

Okay, just an idea: if you have the google search bar, or firefox, you can get programmes that will find most of the spelling errors and typos.
And just a single typo is only annoying to yourself, really. It is not enough to do anything about, really.

And I just realized I myself made a typo in that post. Interesting example on something that could have been prevented with the spell check.
