Just like the previous posters, I don't notice anything wrong until I've gone ahead and posted it, and then it's a rush to change it before anyone notices and thinks I'm a knobhead...

And when posting a selection of photographs with comments, it's essential while you're bringing them in one at a time.....
Foxy, I nearly put in my first post that.. l would be nothing without the editing facility!
Then l thought, maybe people would think l was being a bit OTT and sad, to say that!
You saying, you couldn’t live without the editing facility has made me feel so much better!

Susie, What keyboard are you using?
I use an iPad with its integrated keyboard. Sometimes, my letters don’t come out. Then l noticed it is usually the bottom line of letters on my keyboard. I realised then, l must be hitting the space key as well.

Re: How Often Do You Use The Editing Option?

Very frequently! I can be a tad ocd about spelling mistakes. Particularly as you don’t always notice them, using an iPad. And I will often alter something if I feel I could have expressed myself better.

Sometimes, I read a post a good few hours after I've made it and only then will I notice a word missing or some other error. That's annoying because it can't be edited by then. The mistake is there forever.
mart, l find it annoying if later, l re-read one of my posts and see a spelling mistake and l can’t change it.
I feel l want to explain to everyone that l know it’s spelled incorrectly but l can’t change it!

FM, That is exactly how l am. I know it’s a bit churlish to be like that but l think it’s the way some of us are.
I bet no one really notices or cares even.

I use it quite often, as I make typos.

I am not sure, since the server changed, that the editing time may have been shortened?

For me, I think it would be awful not to have an ‘Editing’ option.
Do you use it a lot or maybe just now and again? Perhaps, it doesn’t bother you?
Same. I'm a perfectionist.

My keyboard often leaves out letters, or maybe it's me not hitting the keys hard enough, or I leave a word out, my brain gets ahead of me, whatever, I am always editing posts. The time given doesn't seem shorter to me though & I didn't know there was a time limit.
