Bring Back the Edit Button!

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Mon Oct 31, 2011 11:12 am

The lack of edit button in the off-topic causes more problems than it solves.

1. The edit button was removed to make people "think more before they post." The thing is, people still don't post differently than they did before the edit button was removed. Whenever someone realizes that there was a mistake in their post, they double-post to fix their mistake. If the edit button still existed, they could edit their post instead of double-posting and taking up more space.

2. If someone actually wants to edit their posts instead of double posting, they'll have to PM a mod. By the time the mod logs on and sees the PM, an active topic would have chugged on twenty miles ahead after the misinterpreted post. Also, I'm tempted to edit some of my topic titles, but I don't want to bother PMing a mod. In a case with other people's topics, an edited topic title had a typo so they had to go back and edit it again. In the end, it's just a waste of everyone's time to try and edit a post with the interface we have right now.

3. In most forums, the off-topic is the area with the most posts. Who would want to stick around for a good amount of time if our Off-Topic has a poor interface?!

Having an edit button would both solve all of these problems and make everyone's forum-lives easier. The new off-topic has turned a year old. Please, MS, activate the edit button again.

I agree with MyNameIsKooky...
Not having an Edit Button does make our forum lives
Harder.
We need an edit button!
By the way, Thats a Very big chunk of text.
How long did it take you to write THAT?!?!?

From the very first day I disagreed with having no editing button, and I still hold this opinion.

Except we have no idea where MS is. Mods get no ACP :P

Admin control panel, where every settings reside.

I'm with you on with that, and I've done my share of chugging
along and missing the' train.

I've often placed OT posts, that I
wished that I could edit later.

I agree. I missed it when MyNameIsKooky changed the title to one of his Evil Toaster games to like 'Evil Toaster 2 (DEMO 1 RELEASED)' or something.

Please MS, bring back the edit!

The edit button should come back IMO. All my ideas have allready been voiced by someone else, so...yeah.
