question on a misstake

[Roy B.]

Wish we had a "revise" post section so when I make a misstake I don't need to delete it and rewrite it .

The software used for this discussion board, while superb in most respects, does not have an "editing" feature. That's why it's never been possible here.

Roy,

There are a couple of better ways to edit posts rather than retyping. If you have just posted and want to edit, you can hit your back button on your browser and return to your original posting. You can then make your corrections and just repost. Then you can go back and delete the original post. Lots faster than retyping.

If you have already closed your browser and can't go back, then you can just copy your original posting, and paste it into a new message. Then you can delete the original. Again much faster than retyping. Also, as long as no one has responded to the original post, it will just disappear. If someone has posted a response, then there will be a message stating that the it has been deleted by the poster.

Joe -

I think the edit feature is simply turned off; we had the same WebBBS software on the original Vetteheads board, and we had the feature turned on.

Hey Roy,

You can always use the "Preview Message" button before pressing the "Post Message" button. At least you will see your message as it will be see after final posting. Then, when you proof read your post, there's a chance to correct mistakes first. Shucks, you are not the only one who makes mistakes doing this ... I've posted my share of them.
