Haven't really seen a problem on other forums where the content is able to be changed after the original post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately it's not my decision to remove the time limit altogether... I'm of the opinion that 10min is more than enough to proof read what you've just posted (hopefully a 2nd time - first one should be before you hit the submit post button ) and any other thoughts/information can just go in a new post after the time limit is up. 1. This way your post count is higher. 2. We are not concerned with the database size for posts specifically. 3. Threads of discussion are clearer more often than not this way. 4. More mocking occurs for mistakes made (and general banter from that). I think it improves the forum when you can't undo your stuff-ups Of course moderators and CCs need the unlimited time to clean up threads and correct information within posts. One obvious example of unlimited editing is WhingePool, and I personally find it annoying that conversation flow gets so interrupted/changed at any moment over there.

The idea of the html compatible "editor box" is that it's a WYSIWYG editor so the contents you see should be exactly how the post comes out once submitted. (as long as you're using a browser and not an app like Tapatalk, of course ) this editor type renders the old "preview" method obsolete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
