I appreciate having the priviledge to post in these boards. I would like to see two changes.

In similar boards you usually have the ability to preview a post before submitting. It could cut down on errors in posts. Could that be added?

Also, if possible the ability to edit YOUR OWN posts after submision might cut down on the flow and allow for updating of information. Time and number of edits
would become part of the post.

Thanks in advance for any consideration.

View one of your posts, and look for the handy "edit post" button. ;-)

You already can edit your own posts - the "edit" link is right below the "Posted" date.

Preview option would be good.. with a preview of the signature so there's not 1000 signature test threads. :)

Edit works for sigs too man...

I used to try and post a couple "use the edit button" posts in the sig threads, but nobody listens.

I still think we need a forum just for sig tests that can be "cleaned" out daily.
