Where did the EDIT button go? (testing 1 2 3)

All you really need by the sounds of things is another rule. Just like how putting a price up is now mandatory, so now make it mandatory to leave the price.

I'm certainly guilty of editing for sale posts and leaving the one word "sold" but I thought that was best. Now I know otherwise so quite simply I won't delete everything from now on, well not that I can now

you didn't just really say that, did you?? Generally we get flack for too many "rules" -lol

I'm trying to think of a way around this, as some people are really upset about this change and we don't want her to be sad forever

I have to say I perfer the idea of being able to edit posts. I edited many of posts in the past ie when I had velvet go through my system I'd update the 1st post so everyone could see how things where without having to sift through all the pages. I also do that with my tank journals and it's nice in the buy/sell when someone has several items for sale to quickly look and see on the 1st page what's still available and what's pending to someone else, also saves the buyer from getting many pm's for something already pending to someone else.

So I'd rather there be a rule stating that the items for sale and prices remain up and not deleted so others can see what it was for sale and have a reference for price wise.

I'm kind of for the new way:

1. It makes people accountable for what they say.
2. If there is information to be shared, why not put in the reference library? That way people don't have to come across posts made by individuals with links in signatures. If one would still like to have signature links they could lead back to one central information depot.
3. I'm not sure about others but I generally miss information added to posts in the middle of the thread, especially if it's one I have subscribed too. If I've been through the thread once I tend to jump right to the "Last Page" to find updates and new information.

Ok, I've turned it back on (I think) and I'll post a request in the buy/sell forums to leave all content intact. We'll try that for a while to see how it goes.
