How do you edit a post on here?

[SilentBob420BMFJ]

I can't seem to find the edit button.

[Tale]

There should be an EDIT button right next to + QUOTE and "REPLY." I do not recall if we have a time limit on editing or not, that may be preventing you from doing it to your earlier posts.

[Enoch]

You can only edit a post for a short time after making it. Once it has been up for a while (I think it's something like 15 minutes or a half hour), the edit button disappears.

[SilentBob420BMFJ]

The time limit explains it.

[kirottu]

True men don't need the edit button. True men get it right in the first time.

I generally type faster than I think.

edit: typo

If I do editing it's always in the first few seconds of hitting "post." Usually from typos or wanting to clarify a sentence or two.

 

The time limit was implemented a while back....I can see how it'd be bothersome if you're trying to edit the first post of some info/link thread I guess, but generally not an issue here.

This seems like a relevant thread that's going to go on for 50 pages.

 

Seriously can we type whatever we want here as long as we edit?

The limit can sometimes lead to double posting, but on another board I once saw double posts getting merged together. That's a good solution, I think.

What boggles me is that I can't spot typos until after I post something, but as soon as I do, to the microsecond, all the typos jump out at me.

But then it's too late, because if you fix the typos, your post is forever tainted with that ugly little edit message.

 

I wish they'd make it like on other boards where the edit message doesn't pop up if you edit within a few minutes of posting. It's unnecessary.

Nay, the edit message separates the men from the boys. How else are we supposed to know who kept rewriting his post into something eloquent and who's a bona fide natural at it.

Yep. Except these days, I find 50 % of them after I can no longer edit the post.

I have to agree with Orogun.
