Editing Threads

[Bill]

I have set up this forum so that, once you have posted a thread, you have five minutes to edit it without the post saying 'Edited by suchandsuch: 20th March 2005'. This works automatically - however, if you edit your post within the five minutes, but also fill in the reason for editing (eg Typos), the 'Edited by such and such...' will appear.

So my tip is, if you're within the five minutes, don't fill in the reason for editing, and no one will ever know you made a typo, or whatever.

Sorry. Run that by me again..?

Clear now?

You need to edit that last line, at least. Twice.

[Bill]

Happy now?

I only edited it once. Sadly though not within the stipulated five minutes permitted. Oh heavy irony!

Sorry - it's just that I read it about three times initially and the syntax just didn't happen for me. You know how it is sometimes.

Unless they want to reply as soon as you have finished typing!!! (Has happened - ooops!)

I had wondered about this, why my edits rarely showed up - should just read this board obviously!
