Editing a forum post?

Postby Cyrix » Sun Aug 01, 2010 5:09 pm

So... is there any kind of reasoning to the edit button showing up or not showing up on one of your posts? I think that maybe one in ten posts I make actually have the edit button afterwards, and it seems completely random. At first I thought if I left the thread and came back the edit button would disappear but now I've noticed it not showing up even when I stay in the thread immediately after posting.

The edit button only appears in a few key forum areas for non-donators. It's everywhere for donors, kind of as an incentive/perk, much like being able to embed videos in the annoucements forum or having no download wait times.

EDIT: Kind of like this.

Show-off.

If you are really worried you can use the "preview" button before posting and check over your post that way to make sure you don't need to fix anything. It's a good habit to have either way.
