View Full Version : Where's the Edit button??!
What's happened to the "edit" and "delete" buttons?? I need those!! I have to edit or delete loads of posts in the past for typos and such.
edit is only available for about 5 mins when u post
then the option goes
use the preview button before posting
as andy says.
Use the preview button if your doing a long post.
Edits can be made by any mod online.
edit is only available for about 5 mins when u post
then the option goes
Thanks Dave !

not for me its not!
yup, no edit button at all
its making me look like a tit :/
sorry guys - this is how it is staying now.
Please pm a mod or myself if you make a mistake.
Why, have you changed it? It's ridiculous. Why should have to ask a mod's permission to edit my own post?
i have changed it for one reason and this reason is as follows.
Picture the following.
When a mod or myself isnt online and we spot a topic that has gone off on one and become a slanging match between two members.
We view this topic to find that certain posts have been edited to remove there posts. its happend a few times this month alone!
As a mod We cannot then see what was originally written. So how do we make a judjment ?
so by having no edit button - if people post that is unfit for the forum they cannot edit it to remove it later when they have had time to think about it.

there's a preview button, it's not really a big deal, it takes 5 seconds to read over your post before you submit it, which is surely less time consuming than noticing it at a later date and having to go back in and edit it? plus as Northy quite rightly points out, it's open to abuse and has been abused, so I'm afraid it had to go.
SUCKS big stylee
Why not have a time and date under the edit like all other forums :?
Best get some more mods as i like to **** up posts ....alot lol
Even an edit for 5min after would be better than sweeet F A
This Forums loosing it's edge imo :wink:
i can see why its done, but im not a fan of it.
imo its not often we get big arguments and people being arseholes, so it shouldnt matter too much!

:lol: :P
I'm happy not to have mine, and agree with it.
But I can see why people want it back.
If it does come back, I dont want mine putting back on.
ahh **** it who cares - we'll see who the dumb asses are :D
and I don't want arguments edited - I hate not knowing whats gone on it a big slanging match :wink:
and if we're taking off editing features turn off the mother ****ing swearing filter you bunch of cunts
i think it should apear for 3 mins or so ....or once you leave that thread that youv posted you cant edit any more......allthough i can see your point northy
if i can get it to appear for 3mins then dissapear i will install that mod.
It seems to have appeared in the premium members section.
LOL
Phantom edit button.
well if its in there then it will be in every forum nyk.
Just double checked it Northy, defo not in any other forum apart form premium members,
check the thread in premium members, I just edited it to show you.
Doesnt give me the option in any other area though.
Strange.
LOL
if i can get it to appear for 3mins then dissapear i will install that mod.
:excited:
any chance of this making a comeback ?
really annoys me

Cliosport lets you modify a post for up to 15mins and i think that is a good option.
I dont see why we all have to be punished for one persons actions.
When all said and done all someone can do is hide what they have typed, hardly a massive thing is it, whats the worst that could happen.

northy has already stated the reasons why it was removed, and as pointed out it takes all of a minute to read over what you have typed before submitting it.

Northy may have had his say, but I havent had mine.
If I want to re-iterate a point I will take the liberty to do so.

no one never said you couldn't, if its a such a problem not having a edit button there why dont you pm northy.
calm down girls!!! :lol: it is nearly xmas after all :D
im fine mate :lol:, was just pointing out that northy has already stated why :wink:
can you not enable it in like the projects forum?
makes it a right arse to have a project if you cant edit / update!
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Come on sort it out guys..... im bored of this avatar
change your avatar then? :P
its down to northy to alter it!
and it will be staying as it is. If you need to edit a post please pm a moderator as you have done in the past.
