30 minute limit on edit button. Yes this is new. To prevent misuse. No, not just for you.

Any more questions? :lol:

No squabbling here, if my fellow inmates don't like it they'll change it. :D

After Jürgens tales of destruction it seemed to me to be an appropriate course of action.

I have put a 30 minute timer on the edit button. A post only remains editable for 30 minutes after posting.

After 30 minutes I have forgotten I have posted anything let alone thinking about changing it!

Not happy with this Mick. Could I please strongly recommend that you go back to previous please? I've just discovered a glaring grammatical error in a post and can't rectumfry it.

It is accepted practice to read what you have written and edit accordingly before hitting the submit button, or re-read what you have written after submission and then make the appropriate edit. It's not an examination paper, you won't be marked down for faulty grammar or spelling mistooks. Andy's answer was the best one so far. :lol: Like it. :D

OK Ok, I'll reverse my decision, until such time somebody changes the content of a post so as to make nonsense of a topic, or indeed falls out with somebody else and edits out the contents of all their own posts. Which was the horror story I was referring to.

Now get back to work. ;)

Same here. I had a reply to a PM which made no sense whatsoever cos I couldn't remember for the life of me what I'd said initially. Old age doesn't come alone :em:
