How Often Do You Use The Editing Option?

For myself? Constantly!

You think you’ve worded and typed something correctly. Then you post it and notice, you’ve spelt a word incorrectly, or your punctuation needs correcting, or it doesn’t flow properly, or you’ve remembered something else.

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?

I use it all the time and the worse bit is the race to change something before someone reads it. You have to be quick.

Yes, Longy. You have to do it quick before the words that you have edited it, kick in!

Yes quite a bit, as when I type something, half of the letters don't come out, whether there is something wrong with my keyboard or not, so I have to go back into it and type it again.

When you’re editing, your action even comes up on the ‘Who’s Online’ Section!

Me too Susie. My keyboard is haunted (It's a well known fact) so sometimes it decides not to type capitals where they should be.

Re: How Often Do You Use The Editing Option?

I use it quite a bit. I often don't notice typos no matter how many times I preview a post. If the error is noticed after I've posted, I try to edit before it has been read.

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.

Re: How Often Do You Use The Editing Option?

I couldn't live without the editing facility Arty....
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......They've probably worked that out already!

And when posting a selection of photographs with comments, it's essential while you're bringing them in one at a time.....
