Edit Feature - Page 2

I agree. I don't edit my posts very often but when I do, it's usually because I make a spelling or grammar typo. I see no need to have any know that I edited, lest they fear I edited it with some ulterior motive.

I didn't know one could alter someone else's post. I read my post, and sometimes I see a typo only after it is posted, even though I read it before, so I go back to fix it, or I left something out that I wanted to say. I am wondering why QVC bothered to remove it in the first place if it wasn't going to be permanent. I did learn a while ago that when editing more than once, the previous "edited" can be removed, so there isn't a list of "edited" on the post.

I am glad they put it back. I'm not embarrassed in the least about editing my posts either for typos, errors, or content. And I've been on threads in which I think it's very good that a poster cannot edit without this notation.

And I also have never been on a site similar to this one that doesn't have some type of notice when a poster edits.

If I edit more than once, I do delete the previous edit notations.

You can edit someone's post if you quote it. As you can see, I bolded the first sentence of your post, and then removed "I read my post, and " And capitalized the S in sometimes.

I've found that many posters never go back and read what has been posted further back in the thread, so they wouldn't be aware if someone quoted you and changed what you said. I like the "edited" feature because sometimes I respond to someone's post, and then they go back and edit theirs, which then can cause mine to make no sense. Now if they edit it, it's obvious that they did something to it.
