An Edit Button - It would be nice.

Joshthegreat
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?

there's another post somewhere about this... the edit button was taken out because ppl abused it by posting (copy and paste) a huge article to gain hosting credits and then edit it before the Mod can see it

Which ppl would do that? I just post the honest way! smile.gif Btw, i've n oticed there is a fastreply sometimes and sometimes no fastreply button? What's up with that? Because fast reply is way easier and quicker than add reply. Not a major problem but it's easier ph34r.gif

Yea, I was wondering that too. At first I thought only long threads let you fast reply, but then I saw a short one with it as well... so it's kinda confusing... or maybe it just varies from forum to forum, some has it, some don't

what's wrong with double posting, adds to your credit so who really cares in the end.

I still don't like the edit button being out. Well sure double posting give you more credits but you can also consider it spaming if you post the same think only to change the sentence or the link direction.

There are alot of people who did it before that copied pages and just posted them here.

only moderators and admins get the edit button, but i'm not too sure about the fast reply either.

One thing I like to do with a post go back and links to further references later on. If there is no edit but I simply am not going to take the time to do this upfront. The solution to the abuse problem is simple. Base the credits on what the uses have posted currently. Not what they posted on there initial posts. I sincerely hope that the administrators will implement these changes in the near future.

The thing is Member post a huge news paper article and then get credits. After that, they simply edit it and make a normal 2 line post. So they get the credits and escape.

    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.

    I think that we could do with a report button..because recently there have been many weirdoes around
    here that post things that they shouldn't be posting...so maybe someone can make a script and we
    can have a report page just for the shout box...designed just for the shoutbox.... for example i
    know it cant be like a topic where there is automaticly a report button there, but maybe we can make
    a page on the forums that is exactly like the normal report page and it does the same thing (sends
    it to all mods and admins) just a thought...
  5. Trap17 Suggestions - a button and topsites 4 trap17 members (5)
    I have some good Ideas. I think we should have a button on the top of the forums that brings you
    back to the forum index. Also, I think we should have a topsites list for trap17. There are many
    good free ones out there, and I think it would be amazing. Think of how we would think of other
    members? Joining would be optional. It would iclude the top 10 and baners for them in a nice little
    table, and the rest can upload or provide an icon to the left if they are in the top 50, and the
    rest are shown on a seperate page. What do you guys think of these ideas?...

    would be cool to post resources, how-tos, etc. Mabie we could do something like the Trap 17 GFX

  14. 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...

  15. Edit Button - (23)
    I think we should put back the EDIT your own post button so we can fix mistakes and the delete your

  16. 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'

  17. 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?...

    promotion video about Diesel ( www.diesel.com maybe i dont got any idea how to make that movie...
    maybe i need idea's and i can ask them here at the "school" part of the forum. ...
  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...
