| 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 |

| I'm going to check out this edit function and see if it works for me. ....................................... It works! ....................................... What about photos? from last year
.................................................. On second thought, I should have shown the jack-o-lantern before and after:
This edit function could be dangerous for those of us who keep changing our minds, but great when we post too fast. Claire |

| Great, we really needed this! Now I can retroactively look less dumb. :-D |
|
| Just to clarify, was unable to edit using Ubuntu 12.04 Opera 12.11 But then again, probably won't encounter many folks on GardenWeb using Linux and Opera. |
|
| Isn't Linux the kid with the blanket on the Charlie Brown Halloween show? I haven't watched Opera since Tom Cruise was on. ;-) Lloyd P.S.testing edit feature....I like it! P.P.S. If I edit twice will it show two edits? |

| Hi Albert, I could make it a sticky, but then it wouldn't allow others to respond to it. Is there a particular reason you want it stuck to the top? The testing part of this is only going to be a couple of days and then it will be a permanent feature for all posts. |
