editing your own posts
this has to be the only thing i dont like about this forum, and its the only forum i come in contact with that is like it.
you get like a total of like 60 seconds to correct a typo, or add/ammend information or fix a broken link.
i think it should just be changed so that there is no time limit on editing your own posts. just my thoughts on that.

and i think that there should be a confirmation pop up, if you are making a post that sets off the profanity filter. like "are you sure you want to post this" or blah blah blah whatever. but give us a heads up, so we can remedy it. because i think that most of it is, profanity is such a part of our language, people dont always realize, or mean to, not that people are just running around trying to undermind the sites rules..

If you choose to "preview" your post before you "submit reply" it, it will show you if anything sets off the profanity filter. There are additional steps that members can take. Not everything requires a new tool or quirk for natas to add to the site. I'm just sayin'.

Yeah...preview your post
It's not a simple thing to just add a new idea for a feature. Someone has to write a program or script, test it and install it. Development for these new scripts can be a lengthy, challenging, frustrating task... For the most part, End user webmasters just go to the PHP download site and choose what's there that they want for their site. If you are volunteering to write the code, go for it! It does sound like a pretty good idea...that whole pop up "are you sure you want to post this" thing but again...previewing your post will work just as well.

but if you accadentally hit the make post button, or only use the quick reply like i do, you still dont get much of a chance to edit the post.
