Like many of you, I post from my phone

It's 2022, and my phone is my primary way of viewing the internet

With that said... my phone causes me to make more typos. Lots of autocorrect debacles and fat fingering. Sure I could preview every post before I send it off, but I'm far more of a "shoot from the hip" sort of guy

Why is it that I can't get like 60 seconds to edit my posts before that little post editing citation appears below? Some sites even give like 5 minutes

This would overly improve my forum experience. Few things stifle a well made post like seeing that little "last edited" message below it. Takes out all the punch. Weakens points. Ruins jokes

Please help, EviLore EviLore

Thank you kindly 😇

Ahh, I kinda feel ya. But it's fine. Ya edited the post. People probably don't care as much as you think they do.

And what's this GAF on the phone bullshit. Message boards are for computers, you want to be phone guy go ahead and post on the Facebooks or whatever the hell those people do! Don't have a foot in two different worlds.

There used to be a grace period. I assume after one of the site updates in the last 6 years it went away.

Yeah I recall this as well

Most forums seem to. Even bluray.com

Just an interesting quirk with this site I never understood entirely

Damn near every post I make on forums or discord says edited. I know everyone sees "edited" and knows I'm a doofus. I understand the feeling. Phone gang

couldn't agree more

editing a post is pretty much letting everyone know that not only are you incompetent, but that you are a try hard bitch. it weighs heavy on me every time...

Jarebear left because of this feature

FUCK

I wish they never melted down over dear leader losing. But, that's life.

I'm not talking about D Pad. Just my little ten person Xbox discord server. We mostly use it to hop into voice chat and play GamePass games together. You really aren't xaero after all. Thought he was pulling my leg this whole time.

My apologies, Mr Packer

....

Thread was fun while we were degrading the TC over something ridiculously silly, but now it's starting to get a sweaty ball, locker room vibe...

I'm fout...
