Edit Feature

Any chance of adding an Edit Feature that allows us to edit a post within an alloted time frame? Say a 30 min time frame to have a chance to edit our own posts to correct mistakes or clarify something that we didn't make clear the first time.

Maybe even a delete feature to delete a post that you wish you hadn't posted in the first place?

On one site I have seen with this feature, there's a line asking why you are making the change.  I just wrote, "Poor sentence structure," and it went through.

Yeah, even though I proof read before hitting the post button, there are often things I wished I had said differently once I actually see them permanently in print.

I start to wonder if someone is gonna take what I said the wrong way or I think of a better way to get my point across. Even simple spelling errors sometimes bug me when I can’t correct them.

I'd rather not have to start another post just to try to explain what I meant in the first place.

Thanks for working to get this feature implemented, MedHelp.

Great idea. Many of us wished we did not post some messages includin me. Many dofferent places are asking you if you want to edit  or if you are sure you wanna post it.Sometimes it take few seconds to change your mind and we would have a chance to delete the post or change the way we wrote.
I have a notorious problem to write "dry" messages but in my heart I don't mean a harm to anyone.
EDIT BUTTON ON POSTS !!  PLEASE...ooops I should not shout.Sorry.Hugs,Sunes.

Yes!  I have used this where comments are sought, and it makes a great difference.  If it is at all possible, let's do it!

Thanks for the suggestion! Actually a few members have already requested this and it's definitely on our list. We don't yet know when it'll be implemented, but we'll let you know when it is.

Thanks,
MedHelp
