If any moderators are about, would it be possible to have an edit button please.
I'm sure I'm not the only one that's continually clicking reply, only to discover too late, my fingers didn't keep up with my brain, and there are glaring omissions and typos.
I usually end up copying, deleting the post and starting again, pasting the original and then correcting. An edit button would save a lot of time

I edit my stuff before sending it - using the back space key - works for me anyway.
Hi, there's an edit function on blogs not not replies. Maybe there will be one for replies when the changes they are making to the site are implemented. Would be useful, I agree.
There is an edit button on the "write a blog" section, but not in the ask a question or on the "reply to this" part ... I can't understand why either ?
Edit is coming in the next release, so they said a while ago. We've always been able to edit the original message if we start a blog or question, but not the replies.
Colour could be good too - looking forward to writing everything in light green on a yellow background !
Anything that will make the forum better can only be a good thing, it's a place where many people are spending a lot of time, anything to make the experience more comfortable is ok by me
It's not BLF who do it, they just have a part of the bigger Health Unlocked site. I heard from the site team some time ago about proposed changes, but have no idea what we will get, when they eventually release the new version.
Thanks Gordon, not only for your replies to me, but also for all the other work you do on here
It doesn't do any harm to give the Health Unlocked site people a bit of feedback as to what would help the folk they're catering for.
I'm sure like me and many others on here, that you visit numerous other types of forums, and in comparison this one would make a fortune on the Antiques Road Show
The beauty of an edit button isn't only for the typos etc , but it gives people the opportunity to rethink if they've reacted a little heavy handedly. to possibly rephrase something in a more sensitive manner
