Be aware of this everyone when writing a post

Especially for newcomers to the forum.

If after you write a post on here you look at it and suddenly realise you've made a mistake, perhaps predictive text may have altered a word or you suddenly realise you want to change something, be aware you can go back in and edit your post, like this:

At the bottom of your post notice the little down arrow, left click on this and drop down to either, 'edit', 'delete' or 'report'. Please note you can only do this on your own posts, you cannot change anyone else's.

Also notice the little thumbs up sign with 'Like' on. If you agree with a post or find it helpful you can left hand click on that 'Like' to show your support.

At the bottom of the whole screen right over to the right you will see an arrow pointing up, if you left click on this it will take you back to the top of the post.

Has anyone else got any tips or shortcuts relating to this forum which may be useful for others to know?

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.

Jean

Helpful tips thanks. I don't suppose there is a glossary of terms for all the abbreviations on here, when I first came on I spent ages googling the often 3 letter terms, LOL.
