Drummin Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Hello, I would like more time to modify a post. I posted some code without tags, (my bad, sorry about that), but can't fix the issue. It would be great to have more time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Unfortunately the more time we give, the greater chance there is of people retroactively deleting their posts because they don't like leaving "I'm asking noob question" paper trails. And since the point of this site is to provide a resource and help people learn, we don't allow for it. But then at the other end of the spectrum we have people who legitimately want to edit their posts for things like what you mentioned.. so it's a balancing act. We've experimented with shorter edit windows and longer edit windows and so far where it is currently at seems like a nice warm butter zone (though for sure, there is no perfect spot). If you find yourself in that situation feel free to report your post and staff can edit it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salathe Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 There's a "Preview" button for a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyr Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Or perhaps there could be a way where users could still modify their post until someone else makes a reply? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
