Help for using the new forums

If anyone makes a severe spelling or grammatical cock-up (ooh err!), to the point that there post is illegible, then one of the admins can just tweak it a little bit!

Don't worry - we won't do anything nasty or malicious to your posts!

What else can the admins tweak for us?

Hiya Lovehoney,

Having been told to cool my ardour by lil known secret l fell to examining the horny loy that are OA members, and noticed that you have quite an international calling. However they don't appear on here, unless you are using a universal translator and BBG, Laynie, Horny Pony, Imeldaimelda, Diva and all the others are Europeans!!!!

What do you say?????

Tallboy

I say that... I don't understand the question!

What d'you mean?!

Ok, here's an idea...

Would it be possible to have an edit post feature for one's own posts, which times out like, 15-20 minutes after the post is, um, posted?  That way we could correct any errors we made at the time that we made them, but not go back later to change it.

Since the edit post feature is restricted because of concern that some might want to remove evidence of what they were saying, but so many of us want to be able to fix things innocently, some kind of timeout feature might meet the needs of everybody.

I say 15-20 minutes because the post I made earlier today about the parcel I got from you lovely people for the review of the month somehow lost all its bold and italics when I posted it, and it's a bit long so I'd need longer than a few minutes to fix it.  But I think 15-20 minutes max would do it.

How's about it, can you ask the IT people, please?  :)

With grovelness,

Lubyanka.  :)

Hi Lubyanka

If you can find another forum that offers this function, please direct us to it and we'll see what we can do.

To be fair though, it is far easier (and safer) for us to monitor the forums (as we do - actively) and to make changes as required.  We all know each other well enough to excuse typos and spelling errors. If you are really concerned about a post, and how it looks after you've entered it, email us and we'll change it.

Please note also that with Christmas coming up, IT will be focusing on the LoveHoney site, and forum matters (unless urgent) will be on hold until the New Year.

Thanks for your understanding.

Thank you Ruth, I don't know of another forum which does this, I just thought of it as something which might be possible.  Thank you for the tip about emailing to change a post, I'll do that if necessary.

I've noted the IT peoples' priorities for the immediate future, and I thank you for considering my idea.  :)

Best regards,

Lubyanka.  :)
