.

Answer 5

Edit would also really help in the tutorial posts.

Answer 6

^^ For real and people who make tutorials should be allowed to delete any comments.

Answer 7

^^^Ya. and what if you realize a typo after you already continued on your tutorial. You'ld have to delete multiple posts and restart.

btw im sorry @TheSmartOne

Answer 8

This has been requested many times before :P I would love to see it happen!

Answer 9

I would love to see it too, until then I use my quoting extension to copy, make modifications, post, and delete the old post.

Answer 10

@wio
I use the copy extension.

Answer 11

@confluxepic He knows what it looks like. He wrote it.

Answer 12

The copy extension is gone. It just dissapeared. The case of the missing features.

Answer 13

Well, there is an edit button on the question you ask.

Answer 14

it does have an edit button it is on the bottom of the question it say's edit question. no need to medal please :)

Answer 15

Well, they're talking about editing comments, not just questions.

Answer 16

^^ oh yeah that would be good too.

Answer 17

Yeah. We do need a edit button for comments. When I'm trying to explain equations in mathematics, I always mess something up and trying to explain it with the equations takes extremely long when you have to delete then re-type.

Answer 18

I do agree big time! It does get irritating and annoying soo much. @e.mccormick shouldn't we start making this happen?

Answer 19

Not for me. I never make typos. :P

Answer 20

Yana, I do not set the development priorities.

Answer 21

>;P

Answer 22

@AnswerMyQuestions you also barely help.. lol You go in to the question and post a face :D

Answer 23

Well you do help @AnswerMyQuestions but you kind of stopped... Its pretty slow...

Answer 24

??? 0_o

Answer 25

okay...?

Answer 26

tso. so true...

Answer 27

:)

Answer 28

I haven't been here for a while now, and I forgot there was none for replies.

Most forums have that functionality, I see no reason for OpenStudy not to, it's kind of like a core feature.

But again, it's not a big deal either way.

Answer 29

Well, when you write an equation and you make a typo...
Would be nice if you could change...

Answer 30

Well, I also mostly agree and cheer for the "edit", but then no one would care to type the responses correctly in the first place. The absence of the "edit" develops at least small sense of responsibility, doesn't it?

Answer 31

^

Answer 32

One con of having an "edit" button is when users reply rude or offensive comments. If they will get reported they can change their comments easily. Unless, OS's system can store all the changes, then the 'edit' button will be really helpful and won't be a problem. I'm just sharing my opinion but I totally agree that it should be implemented.

Answer 33

@data_lg2
Never thought of that.

Answer 34

What if it was only limited to latex?

Answer 35

Yeah they said that in this...
http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/5438674be4b092086b236e2d

Answer 36

But in Latex could post a anciful hi and then later edit is so that you answered it first and you can just cpy someone's work below and tweak it a bit.

Answer 37

Or have an ss limit. High users shouldn't really be offensive in any way and if they are then the changes should be stored.

Maybe a drop down from the question that says, "See changes made."

Answer 38

you wouldn't believe how many high SS peple ca be rude.

Answer 39

And the drop down should also store the timings the changes were made.

Answer 40

And if they make this edit feature, pretty soon the people in the chats will want it there too.

Answer 41

I think an edit for latex only would be great
You could use the copy tool too copy someone's equation/latex design and change it up to fit your needs

Answer 42

I think an edit for latex only would be great and also that you could use the copy tool too copy someone's equation/latex design and change it up to fit your needs
:P

Answer 43

like that :P :)

Answer 44

Not what I meant, but ok haha

Answer 45

lol tso
"the people in the chats"
like they live there...

Answer 46

Haha. Do people live in the chats?

Answer 47

Yes. That's where some people picked as a home.

Answer 48

Eric well you somehow have a way and I know that:P

Answer 49

that sounds nice

Answer 50

@Data_LG2 They already store it anyway, so I do not see what a huge deal it would be. Now, what would be more interesting would be user level access to edits. As in both edited questions and replies could be rolled back at the user level.

Answer 51

@e.mccormick
Kindly, explain what you said.

Answer 52

Aah I see. That's good to hear then (:
Well I think the users who have SS of 65+ should have the ability to edit the posts/comments/replies because that's the level where users started to have difficulties raising SS, which means that they already know how to use OS properly. Do you think OS admins can work on this little adjustment over a huge list of suggestions that they are reviewing? xD

Answer 53

I hope they will ...

Answer 54

If they had an edit button then someone who replied before Eric could easily plagiarize.

Answer 55

Ah, but if you can review past edits, then people could easily see what was there before the edit.

Answer 56

Yeah. I suggested the drop down from the question that says view edits.
You know how when you pass your mouse over the smartscore the three subscores drop down.

Answer 57

what do deleted comments look like to mods?
does it only come up when if you look at a person's record or something?
or is there actually a place on a question where a mod can see that there has been deleted comments?

Answer 58

^^^^
I always wondered the same thing.

Answer 59

someone requested edit, and the reply was "No, just delete and post again". I doubt this feature will be implemented.

Answer 60

You should close this...

Answer 61

Someone should answe sleepy's question first.

Answer 62

i agree with this

Answer 63

Is that like the official Jay Seal of Approval or something?

Answer 64

^ now there's a good latex idea

Answer 65

Jaytex needs a edit button to fix the few mistakes on his tutorial!
*trying not to fall down laughing*
so i guess sure why not! XD

Answer 66

ooohhww... time to go make a official jay seal of approval! thanks for the idea sleepy and e.mc
ill do that as soon as a finish the openstudy logo... or in 3 days... which ever comes first XD

Answer 67

So 3 days.

Answer 68

probobly...
the logo is probably gonna take months ;-;
XD

Answer 69

i mean to do a detailed logo anyway... then modifieng it so it doest lag the site to death xD
