Simviation Forums

Hang about!.... ...!

In the New Forum Browser...
It appears that our "Modify" button disappears after 24 hours since we sent our Post, so there is no longer the opportunity to modify our Posts to carry out any necessary modifications, corrections, amendments, additions, etc, which are later spotted!

Is there any chance of reverting to the previous Forums settings, where the "Modify" button is always available for use in our Posts when desired?

Paul....always on the look-out for my spelling, etc, errors, requiring correction!......!

.... ...!

It may be because I am a Mod... but I think that button is there on my postings right away.

Paul is correct. The Modify button disappears after a certain time. I remember this happening on the previous version of YaBB until it was changed.

I'm not sure this is very important in the scale of things. Most people seem to be unaware of its existence. From what I can see the average forum member doesn't bother reading his/her posts through directly after posting them, never mind 24 hours afterwards.

That "Modify" button is vital for me, as I constantly go back and re-read my old posts to make perfectly sure I haven't made any daft, silly mistakes or errors, which will appear on The Internet until the End Of Time!... .... ....!

It was corrected (modified) at one time, so hopefully it can be done again in the "new" Forum!... ...!

Same here but I think we're pretty unique Paul.

As I said earlier, most members appear to be blissfully unaware of its existence, even if they bothered to read through what they just posted for mistakes & typos. It's obvious that most people don't consider this important nowadays. A lot of what I read on this forum is so much gibberish which makes it difficult to figure out what people are actually trying to say.

PS. I could quote plenty of examples but don't wish to embarrass anyone.

Fixed?

There is a time limit on modifying posts. I have extended it to 3 days. Should be enough.

Thanks Pete. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Please make it 3 Years, Pete....

...just for me*... ...!

I must be in the minority (like Paul) when it comes to using the modify button.

It's existence is more obvious to me than the dictionary.com link on top. 9 times out of 10, I'll check the spelling of a word through the Webster's Dictionary I have on my computer.

Thank you, Pete, for fixing the problem.

You'll still be here in 3 years

In Firefox at least you can select spell check. I wouldn't be without it.  8-)

I double-check my spellings, etc, on my Sim V Forums for the past 10 years.... ...!

...and I'm not going away anywhere in particular in the next three years...trust me... ... ...!

My Firefox Spell-Checker checks my spelling as I type, but it doesn't tell me that I have typed something really silly in the past, that doesn't make any sense.... ....
.....that's when I need my trusty "Modify" button.... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

Paul... ... ...!

Remember; If you type something containing errors of any sort on an Internet Forum, and leave them uncorrected, they are there for all to see in an Internet Search Engine!
Be afraid...be VERY afraid!... ...!

Hagar and Fozzer      How you two survive cruising forums daily amazes me with your spelling obsessions.  It is indeed much easier to read a thread properly typed, but we all know that is rare on an internet forum with all the text speak and leet speak.  I give you two kudos for your patience and tongue biting abilities.  I am one of those that has frequent spelling/language errors...being a Marine and all, if we don't know the right word or spelling we just substitute it with a cuss word
