re FAQ

was just reading this and came across this line...

Is there any etiquette I need to be aware of?

Make sure you read the Forum Guidelines. Some quirks:

It is better 'manners' to edit your original post rather than 'clutter' a thread by serial posting (although that depends on the thread - it's generally ok to serial post in the chattier threads such as the monthly ones, the daily catchup, and some of the TTC threads).



and i dont agree with that at all. tis better to repost if you have a change of mind or new info, IMO.


no offence to weegee but i wonder if it perhaps would have been better for the FAQ to be compiled by admin, as i also some some other inaccuracies, eg there is a character count on the signature section already.

just my thoughts....

Totally agree with this. I have seen posts where someone has made a comment, then a few people have replied as in a discussion about said comment and next thing the comment has been changed or infomation being taken out. People that have commented look like they are replying to unasked questions or comments.

I would have thought 'good manners' would be not to edit your post if it's not the last post in the thread?

At least to me it is anyway


And yes good work Weegee for writing it all up

lol me either, I'm a chronic serial poster But that was just included as a response to someone else's suggestion. I didn't word it properly, I guess I meant it's only 'better' to edit to correct yourself rather than post again straight away. I agree with Kels and Tishy - was just trying to make it a collaborative exercise!

(And now Emma needs to edit it anyway cos I can't)

not blind its called mummy brain! lol!

Actually I suggested Weegee add that.

It wasn't for changing items in a post - it's for when you want to add stuff to the end of it and you just post multiple times after yourself. The edit button is there for a reason

ETA: Like now when I want to add that a prime example is testing a ticker.

I personally don't think it matters whether you edit or post again... but then I don't get bothered by the small things

So rather than just posting lots...

Which if I didn't edit every time I remember something I wanted to write but just forgot to put in, it could get quite long!

And it could be potentially annoying

And now I've been done for spamming!

But I think what that suggestion is meant to mean, rather than during a discussion when people have replied after you...


Edited so it would make sense...
