It's possible someone suggested this before, so please don't flame me for that :)

Is it possible that the option for editing your posts can be brought in? It annoys me to see all those typo's I made after I posted a message.

Until that happens, how about composing in your word processor of choice and employ the spell check then copy and paste? It will probably also do a char count for you as well.

Just a thought.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm usually flying through between cases or before I have to head off to do something else (yes, I DO have a life outside of Sleuth *grin*). I don't have time to open another file on my computer, type up my reply, hightlight and copy, click back to the window I was in for sleuth, paste and reply. I'll live with my mistakes until someone is kind enough to add a preview or edit capability.

When posting more of our storyline in my agency threads, yes I do use a word processor to compose, then paste it. Mainly because it usually ends up being 2-4 posts long and I time out long before I'm done. *grin*

I like the idea of a preview mode more than being able to edit posts after the fact. It can become problematic if somebody edits a post or reply that other people have already replied to. The thread can make less sense if a previous part is edited after other people have already replied.

I agree with Ben. Situation particularly when someone behaves like a complete ass, and people react to that. A bastard would then go back to change words.

Not claiming to be the first either BadAss, but yeah, I've raised this too. Tragically, my index fingers are pickle-style fat, and I swear, my keyboard keeps shrinking. Not into the word processor thing (*lazy*) -but good point Nikkie and Ben, I can imagine the turd factor expanding exponentially if people could erase their bastardly tracks. Preview mode would be great.
