I would like to be able to change a mistake in a post , sometimes we make grammar error and typo error and have no chance of changing it once we start the discussion or post a respond . It just happen to me on another discussion I start after hitting the button I wanted to stop it no such luck and I cant just click delete either . It would be nice if there was a preview or something before you make the final submission .

I agree with it,in any writing jobs there is a chance to edit and delete our work so we could make a better outcome of post without committing typo errors and grammar errors as well. It would be very nice if they will make this action such as edit or delete...

There is a response button below the response box. You can make use of that. When you hit the button, you will be redirected to a page that has an edit and submit button below. Hitting edit button can redirect you to the response again then you can be able to do adjustments or editing of your response.

I'd loooooove if they stopped the restriction! I want to edit grammar mistakes or anything I want from discussions but as we can't I simply don't go back to discussions I answered from someone else. I think it's only fair in a forum but it doesn't happen here.

Exactly... because we have the potential of earnings here, we cannot edit or delete posted content. Otherwise, people could go back and substantially change what they originally wrote or they could delete their entire discussion - and doing so would also affect the earnings of everyone that took the time to participate in it. Edit and delete rights are common in other forums, yes... but myLot is not like those other forums

Yes mylot is not like the normal social forum . We just have to do the best we can here and try to limit our mistakes and hopefully in the future something can change like some suggestion some other members made .

You got that right, I would love if they stop it also . I guess because it involves earning we cannot edit what we submit . Thanks for your respond .

I agree. We should be able to change a comment or correct a mistake. What if you notice it after a few days? There should also be an option to upload a picture in a discussion later, in case it is not uploaded in the first place. Sometimes they do get lost when you post a discussion.

Valid points , we sometime dont notice a error right away and that may hurt everyone because they may not be able to understand you . Thanks for responding

I also agree if we can edit our post. Coz sometimes our eyes are tricky. We sometimes see on what we think. We can even read words without their vowels. You know what I mean. As of now, we just really have to be careful.

I know exactly what you mean , sometime we are typing fast and not paying much attention and as you say our eyes does play trick on us . We should at least have one chance to change it . Thank you for your respond .

Like one of the discussions I posted. I typed phoebias, but its actually phobias. Wherein I dont understand why I typed it that way. Now it will be confusing to others.

We sometime do not notice the preview button and we cannot correct the mistake once we submit our respond . I am able to do all those you mention .

For this we have to take the blame. There is a provision for preview and edit. If we ignore that and press we are responsible for it. In case some mistake happens it cannot be corrected. Only option is to use opportunity to clarify in our replies.

Thats is what I am doing , clarifying it in a comment .

Maybe you are talking about an "edit" button because there is a preview button already...but there is an edit button also when you preview your post... So maybe we just need to take more time when typing and use the preview button more often, there you have a chance to edit before submitting your post....

Yes that is the only thing we can do now . I will just have to take more time and really preview whatever I type . Thank you for your respond

Hi silverfox! There is actually a preview feature which allow us to review our post and make necessary changes before posting. Have a nice day!

I see it but I mean in the way that it just pop up and ask if you are sure lol I am working on my habit to start preview things first .
2 Oct 12
I have so far not found anything that I would like to change about mylot. With regards to edit your writing you can always do that before you hit the start discussion button. There is a button called preview your discussion to edit your writing. Hope this clarifies.

I definitely agree with you silverfox. It also happened to me many times. And there is one thing also that I want to be changed in mylot. And that is the changing of usernames, that has been my problem since I was very knew in mylot. They are suggesting that I'd rather disable this account create a new one because that's the only way to change but I opt not to. But I'm still hoping that there will come a way to change usernames someday.

I like your suggestion , I would have changed my username already too lol . The site would be more member friendly . I think if the site have more members that want a change we would probably get it one day .

I will like to change the payment options. Mylot should allow other payment methods like bank transfer, etc. Sticking to paypal.com and only paypal.com isn't fair to some folks. I hope mylotters are listening...

Thats a good suggestion , more payment option would be good . I would also like a western union or check payment option . Thanks for your input. ..
