| Hi everyone, We've been working on adding an 'edit post' feature and hope to have it fully functional this week. We are rolling it out to a select few forums (including this one) for testing and would appreciate your feedback. To edit, once you have loaded the page where your post is located, look to the right and you'll see an edit link just under the Clippings area. This will open up the post and you'll be able to make your changes. It will be very similar to making changes in the Preview window when you make an original post. You will not be able to edit your Subject line. You will only be able to edit messages that you've posted today and beyond. Messages that you've posted before last Friday will not be accessible with the edit post feature. Also, once you have posted a new message, there is no time limit to make your edits. Once you've changed your post, a notation is added to the bottom of the post, showing that it's edited. There is always a log kept of the original post. If you experience any problems, please be specific as to what you are seeing and - very importantly - what type of computerand browser (and version) you are using. Please post issues/feedback to this thread. Any questions, let me know! Best, Tamara |

| Editing my post didn't make the message come to the top of the forum. Don't know if that is a goal of the new feature or not... |
|
| Purpleinopp, No, it's not supposed to float it to the top of the forum. An edit feature should be used for minor corrections. If it's something more important, it's better to just post a follow up . Otherwise, I think it could be confusing. |

| I agree, just reporting on what it did. Thanks again for doing this!! It keeps rejecting my message unless/until I change the subject line. |

| just tested for the first time to fix a typo--- super easy! thanks! |
|
| I'm sure there are others like me who don't always get it right the first time; and like me, they'd probably be here saying thanks ...... if at the moment they weren't racing from thread to thread fixing everything in sight. ;-) In thinking back on all the suggestions offered, I have to say the edit feature was right at the top of the wish list for me and many others. Thanks, Tamara. Al |

| Yes, thanks seems like such a small word for such gratitude. |
|
| Excellent feature. So glad it's been added. Thanks |
