Xingu Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 There has been a few instances where folks were posting inflammatory content and then quickly deleting it, so some functions have been disabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 There has been a few instances where folks were posting inflammatory content and then quickly deleting it, so some functions have been disabled.A really, really bad move! I use the edit button all the time to correct spelling or sentence structure, or to add a thought I had forgotten.If a few people are posting inflammatory content and quickly deleting it, kick them off the board! Don't do something that hurts everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr68gts Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I do the same thing as you guys. I will edit post quite often and sometimes because of using 2 different photo management sites have difficulty remembering which link to use lol. So I edit a lot for spelling and other screw ups not related to any kind of language etc. Really like to see this back. And as for the inappropriate conduct I am with who ever said it. Kick them off the board and done. Easy peasy.Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr68gts Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Agreed.Many guys have long running WIP threads and like to edit the title of the thread to reflect their up dates. Disabling the edit function doesn't allow the OP to make those edits anymore. Also vital and something I do as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xingu Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) It will be turned back on at some point. One of the options we use keeps resetting itself and will not keep. For the time being you will need to proofread what you type before submitting. Edited May 10, 2017 by Xingu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Ambrose Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Thanks for the heads up. The edit function totally needs to be there. I'll get that fixed ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
