It's a pity we can edit the post only a few minutes after submitting it. From my point of view, one of the biggest disadvantages of Yahoo Group was that I was unable to edit/correct my posts after submitting. Let me explain why:
-
English is not my native language. I do my best to compose a post properly and avoid any mistakes before submitting, but especially when it is a long one (with lots of text, links, pictures etc) I can't be sure that it is 100% correct. Not that seldom I find things that I would like to correct after some time - when I read my post for the n-th time - even after couple of days.
-
When the post contains external links, they usually become outdated after some time. Being able to edit it, means we can update them easily.
-
Some posts need to be updated. Let me provide an example. In this post (on the other forum) Link I write about some ways of making execution of AFL code even faster (some performance tuning tips). At the end of the post I list all changes in consecutive versions of AmiBroker which have something to do with performance. I made this post over a year ago, but thanks to the fact that I can still edit it (and I did it today) it still contains up-to-date information.
@Tomasz maybe you consider some arguments for enabling editing our posts ...
