Allow Users To Edit Posts

I am sorry if this has been suggested before, but it would be good if you allowed the users to edit their posts... I don't feel comfortable posting again because I forgot something or wanted to change something

I just read a topic explaining why there is no Edit button.

Will you reconsider if I modify it so it will recalculate the points upon edit?

Firstly, you haven't searched enough on this topic. As you can see trap seventeen has thousands of posts before you even join the community and forum. This topic has been discussed before and mods and admins have decided not to allow EDIT simply because there are people who misuse them in the past. From now on, before starting any new threads, kindly search first, it might have already been posted elsewhere because this forum is quite old and many members have opined their thoughts about almost everything which you and I know about and what a huge forum used to contain. I hope this helps.

Yeah, as Dragonfly said, it's been a debated topic. Pure and simple, we've had problems with it because it was around when I first started, and the admins decided that it wasn't worth the trouble. If you want to edit your post, report it and tell the mods what you want to edit, or PM a mod directly.

I'm sure OpaQue could, but it would take a lot of work calculating the credits for the old posting, taking them away and then calcualting them for the new post and adding them on or whatever is required, the point is there's no edit button. If you need a post edited report it, simple.

  2. Proper English Within Posts - (32)
    Mistakes happen. In the fury of writing long-winded posts (or short, meaningless drivel) it's
    often easy to misspell a word here or there, or overlook a typo. I have no problem with that, nor
    with taking a little artistic license to spice up the post if it adds some intrinsic value to the
    thread. But lately, I've noticed some folks going out of their way to deliberately misspell
    common words and butcher the English language beyond recognition. To cite a recent example, one
    poster found it appropriate to spell "anyways" (which is not a real word, anyway ) as "A...
  3. Delete Posts? - (5)
    I really hope this is not on the forums anywhere but I did check. Why can we not Delete any of our
    posts? Like in one case a member accidently double posted. I wish there was a feature that allowed
    us to delete any posts that we make. I know nothing of how to do this but I know some things. Lets
    sat I wanted to delete this post. After I deleted my Posts Count would go down and credits would be
    deducted for exactly how many I earned in this posts. We are allowed to edit and change a few things
    to out posts but I think we need more editing ability with our own posts. An...
  4. A "save As Draft" Button - saving your topics or posts for later editing (13)
    i realized while typing earlier i had the urge to find a "save as draft" button. i guess i was so
    fixated with my blog. but anyway, my point is what if the forum was to include this feature so
    whatever you write, you could save them for posting later on. i was thinking maybe some people would
    have some stuff to do and they have to shut down the computer (not everyone can leave their computer
    on, and that would be a waste of energy), but they have already written their topics/posts.
    moreover, some people would have second thoughts in posting their topics so they could sav...
  5. Limiting Max Number Of Credit Posts Suggestion? - (19)
    How about that Trap17 limits maximum number of posts that you can get credits for in one day? My

    style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> . I really

    guys think?...

  7. Control Panel: Current Subscriptions - Sort by new posts (0)
    I don't know about you guys, but I find the current subscriptions page
    (http://www.trap17.com/forums/view-topic-subscriptions.html) one of the most useful features of this
    forum. As such, I have two ideas to make this tool even better. 1) Have the topics listed on page
    be sorted into two sections: one for new posts (at the top) and the other for topics without any new
    replies. 2) Make the topic subscriptions page be the default destination when you click the 'My
    Controls' link. Or at least swap out the "Recently Read Topics" in favor for it. (I made this...

    it to get posted...i wanted to add more stuff in it so if there was an option to edit posts i could

  11. Some Kind Of "make It Yourself" Section - for *edit*, circut bending, kits, etc. (0)
    I think we should have a section for things that you would find in "MAKE Magazine" and stuff, I
    think it would be a nice addition to the site, sense the forums are about tech stuff. I think it
    would be cool to post resources, how-tos, etc. Mabie we could do something like the Trap 17 GFX
    crew, exept with that kind of stuff. What do you think? Title editted to remove word which is not
    desirable for promotion on this forum. You should be aware of the TOS. ...
  12. Posts - Higher Value (12)
    I think that when people post, it should give them more credit days than it currently does. It takes
    a long time to make replies and new posts to some people like myself who don't type very fast,
    and to constantly be active to make sure that there are enough days remaining is a lot of time and
    work, considering people could get a paid site for around $3 or $4 a month. The cost is
    very cheap, and not all of the features that this site offers is necessarily used by everyone. I
    could pay for a site, and have everything I need for a very low cost, and not worry...
  13. Edit Button - It should be considered (4)
    I don't have the hack for it, or either it needs to be enabled for users and not just

  15. Edit Post Feature - (1)
    I think trap17 should get an edit post feature, it'll limit the number of spamming. When I mean
    spamming I mean posting 2 times in row, I just read a topic where the started post 3 times in a row
    excluding the starter post. If we had an edit feature then there would be no need to post so many
    time a person could easily just edit there post with a remark used below: ORANGINAL POST HERE...
    Edit: TEXT HERE... Regards, Brionne....
  16. Edit Button - (23)
    I think we should put back the EDIT your own post button so we can fix mistakes and the delete your
    own post button just incase we double posted. This would help the admins and moderators alot.

  17. Edit Option For Posts - adding an option to edit past posts (2)
    hi i was just wondering if you could maybe add an 'edit' button to the bottom of each post.
    this would be useful, as just recently i was posting in the warcraft III topic in the gaming/rts
    subforum and i forgot to say something and so had to post twice. maybe just make it so that if
    someone has already posted after your post it is uneditable, but until that happens you are free to
    change it. thanks for considering! /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle'

  18. Allow Members To Edit And Delete Posts - Make The Lives Of Us And Mods Easier (9)
    Ok so your happily posting and you hit the post button too many times because your internet is slow.
    We can't delete our own posts so we have to let a mod know. Or you want to add to your post. I
    personally think this is kind of a good idea because it will help the forums run more smothely if
    people can edit or delete their posts. What do you guys think?...
  19. Why Not? - Request for edit permissions (1)
    I know you guys kinda labelled me as a "heretic" already, but here goes. My suggestion is that all
    users get EDIT permissions. I know that I've double/triple posted before, or had to post
    something again to fix it, and I'm sure many other users are having the same problems. I'm
    sure having the ability to edit one's posts will greatly reduce spam and overposting. I can see
    no real reason why we -shouldn't- have editing permissions, since it's not likely to cause
    any turmoil or chaos. So my question is, why not? Please don't flame me for makin...
  20. An Edit Button - It would be nice. (8)
    I've noticed that there is no edit button for our posts, this is really frustrating if we make a
    mistake with out posts and have to double post to correct it. It says in the rules that there is
    one, but looking around for about 3 minuites, I cant find one. What's with that?...
  21. Posts Suggestion - (1)
    I found that many people are confused about the post issue, where you have to have more than 300
    charecters. However, I have a better suggestion. If you made a addon called "Good Posts" and after
    that put the script of 300 charecters and another one saying "Total Posts" with the normal script.
    For example, I posted 10 normal posts and 6 GOOD posts. That way, the ranks for the forum will rise
    faster, yet, we still know how many posts are good. That way, I don't say n00b until I post over
    30000 charecters in the forum....
