Why make it anything? Is there a reason it's limited? And if it has to be limited, 30 is betterer than 15 🙂

Drop it to 5, sharpen everyone up a bit.

I'm not up to anything, Geoff. I just seem to fall foul of the 15min window several times recently. Obviously, the new forum will be like every other forum and have a proper edit function/pm etc, but I was hoping something could be implemented before it got here in 2012.

Whilst were at it, can we also edit other folks posts.

Say, you're allowed on edit a month (premier only, obvs) but can earn extra edits by people 'liking' something you may post up.

Oh, wait.

Stop that.

I thought they would never publish the big hitter scorecards

Only if the edits are performed by bona fide grammar pedants, are in red biro, and signed off with "See me after class".

Some forums do have that, you have to enter a reason for the edit.

Keep the faith. It's coming. I mean, why would they lie?

I like the fact that if you change the title the URL doesn't change, so you can still see what it was. The equivalent for posts would be ace...

If you post everything as image you can change it as often as you like plus people can't selectively quote you 🙂

Jamie, that is not A+ work. There's an apostrophe missing.

EDIT: and a question mark. It's a B at best.

Just used it in three times in 2 minutes. Adrenalin buzz is giving me a migraine.

Check out the "How to win a pulling competition" thread. Seems a lot more was let slide back then. 🙂

That selfie of the bloke in the gimp suit with the top of his ginger bush in full view still gives me nightmares 🙁

[edit] it can't have been a selfie, can it. D'oh.

Random period between 1 and 15 minutes.
Should be fun.

Being able to change your post to the correct forum would be very useful.

You can always email moderator@... and we'll generally move it pretty quickly for you (and we move them when we spot them anyway).

Think that's a bit harsh, just look at the long list of new features we've been treated to since then...
