Point of order

When one edits an original posting does the original post stay up whilst you edit and 'til the edit is "saved?"

I ask this because I edit all the time (every).Best change  made in that latest overhaul, being able to do this, imo.

I posted a faux pas the other day , Herman took the Mickey, rightly so. I edited it. My original comment stayed in Herman's quote!! There for all to see.

Yes that's probably to be expected as you essentially cannot edit another's posting even if it contains your faux pas.

My real point is, and perhaps SDP will know, is that whilst I am editing my own  does the original un-edited post remain on show until I press the save button on my edited version or is it removed when you press edit?

I would guess that it does.

So your faux pas will be on show until you edit and press "save."

I rarely make a post without editing it. I was thinking how bad my posts must have been until I remembered we used to have "preview" which worked the same.

I know my posts are still bad but you know what I meant🙃

That’s as it should be surely? Otherwise I could call you a ******, you reply and I edit the original to make it look like you’re making a fuss about nothing. Or... well you get the idea.

Sounds like a good tactic to ensure a never ending forum bust up.👍

Preview was an excellent tool. Having a Preview and an Edit tool would be ideal.

Eye halve a spelling chequer 
It came with my pea sea 
It plainly marques four my revue 
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word 
And weight four it two say 
Weather eye am wrong oar write 
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid 
It nose bee fore two long 
And eye can put the error rite 
Its rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it 
I am shore your pleased two no 
Its letter perfect awl the weigh 
My chequer tolled me sew.

Funny stuff Wordsworth. 😀😀

Clearly your spell checker is one of the American ones
