Editing and deleting your own posts

[Mike Lewis]

I've just stumbled across something I didn't know before.

It's now possible for us to edit or delete our own posts here in the forum. There are two new buttons in the bottom right corner of the post, for editing and deleting respectively. When you go to edit, it warns you that editing the post will "leave a link to the edit history, and other users will be able to see the original post". I'm not completely sure what that means. Presumably, the buttons are only available for a limited period, and it's not clear how long that is.

This is a welcome feature - one that people have often requested. I don't know how long it's been available. It could be that you all already know about it, and I'm the only one who didn't.

Mike

Indeed very useful, now I can correct my typos, I already did on a few occasions.
