Would it be possible to implement the capability of revising a topic AFTER it has been posted? For some stupid reason, I discover mistakes only when I see the posted message. Perhaps I am not the only one.

Just a thought ...

Manfred,

You are not alone. I find I do the same thing, and would like to edit my posts at times. That would be a handy feature, though not vital.

Manfred,

I think what's needed is a Preview Button - taking you to a Preview of the post as it will appear when Posted - then a Submit Button or a Back to Editor Button.

I've seen some Forums that included the Editor below the Preview, this type page also includes a Preview Button - in essence a Refresh of the Preview page, invoked after editing.

Later,

While we're on this subject, is it possible for all pages to display at the top of each topic?

At the moment, you only see Pages 1 2 3 > and then Last if there's more than 3 pages of posts. If you want to look at, say, Page 4 you have to go to Last and then select 4 from the list.

Thanks for your work with this site.

Thanks for the ideas, everyone. I do agree that both a preview button and the ability to edit one's own posts would be worthwhile additions. I'll plan on adding them at some point. I'll also look at showing all of the page links of a topic.

Thanks,
Chris
