it would get abused...  not a good idea.  maybe a 30 second window to correct spelling or puncuation, but that won't likely happen either.

i don't really understand why though. you say it will get abused, but likely it will have ALOT more benefits than anything else, it works on every site ive ever been to...

if you still dont like that idea, why not make it so you can see the original post, and the edited version in the same post but in a gray box like you would see a quote.......????

it should be that if your post is the latest one, then you can edit. but if there are replies after yours, then you can't. eh?

 yeah this is the best idea right here.

because if it was the other way, someone would quote you and you could change what you said to make them look stupid...i know i would do that....so dowalibeaster is right.

But ns fourms are so simple, i hate how others are set up with 30 things going on between each post...if you wanna change what you have to say just post again under it if its really that important...There should be no editing of your post
