... this is one very good looking and well-organized forum BB. Well done!

Feature request: one thing i need to know, is if the board has a facility which allow one to edit one 's own messages after posting it. i'ts a boon for folks with an afterburn like me; i found it very useful at other  forums

Take care,

Hi TsoTsi, we used to have the edit and delete buttons but one person kept posting and deleting/editing posts in mid thread so it was disabled here as it left many threads unreadable.

If there is anything your not happy with just drop us a line on a pm and we will adjust it for you.
I know this is a pain but we where thinking ahead to make sure any information posted here would still be available to all in years to come.

Thank you GhostShip, but i do differ with your point view:

Although a thread may become unreadable, it is a user problem, not a functional one. The user can be educated or banned or whatever, so as not to lose the usefulness of the function. Other bb's implement the edit function smoothly. Still, i respect your decision not to implement it here.

Cheers!

editing is extremely useful and I do use it myself in many cases where i've hit submit then noticed a typo or decided to reword something, but there is also the problem of it being misused intentionally or otherwise to cause confusion

the thread in question had a question put on it, then a response posted to it... then the original poster went back and edited their post to reply to it instead of posting a reply, when it was finally noticed that they had replied (as there was no new post) it was hard to see what they wanted help with in the first place to answer them as the original post was gone... that thread had effectively become as useful as random spam

if you need anything edited then either PM an admin or post under it and an admin should see it saying what you want edited and it'll be changed, i've edited a few typos etc for users on here and i'm sure the other admins have as well :-)
