Hello, quick question:

Can you edit your posts after making them? Maybe I'm just completely missing it, or maybe it isn't there?

Thanks in advance.

You can't? That's usually a feature with all common forums.

Oh well, I'll have to live without it then... *shrugs*

There's a good reason why we don't have an 'edit post' button, too.

If we did, half of the users would go back and edit all their old posts to "LOL COCKS". Plus, it encourages people to edit before posting like you're supposed to do.

Alfie, fuck off.
Stop spamming, that post made no contribution to the thread and was a pointless bump.

Yes that system will probably be abused.

Well, this BBS was written from scratch (as far as I know), so it's not a "common forum".

People will most likely abuse an edit system in bad ways. (Revenge, deleting evidence, blanking out question threads that get answered so nobody with the same question can search for it, cock jokes...)

So, no. There is no post edit function for normal users and there probably will never be one.

What kind of shitty establishment is this?


You can solve pretty much any problem you may have with AS3 by consulting the AS3 Language reference.
