You can't. I should preview my posts first, but I usually don't. And of course I go so fast that I often make mistakes. Don't fret it. We all do ...

Hi noboay, we can’t make any edit after we have posted our discussion. I did make this mistake very often earlier. So I always endeavor to preview my discussions and do some edit if necessary before posting. I find by doing this could really reduce the making of errors.

Hi Noboay Sorry to say but you can't.. I know I wish you could cause even myself have made mistakes in my discussion and seen them after i've typed them out and already hit the send button.. It would be nice if there was a edit button though... I have been extreamly careful when I post mine.. I do have a spell check that automatically underlines the word that is miss spelled it does come with fire fox and I believe you need to enable it for it to work and it does wonders here.. So if you are using fire fox go into your options and check it... I hope this helps!

If it's a really big mistake you can add a comment to the thread, otherwise don't sweat it, we have all slapped our foreheads after doing a post and seeing something that we wish we could correct.

As the above response says, you can always add a comment to your own response to correct it, or just don't worry about it. As long as other people understand what you have written if doesn't really matter, except to you of course. I don't usually preview my responses so small errors do sometimes appear in my posts.

Nah, I don't think it's possible. Yesterday, I commented too on a question whether we can actually delete the discussions we posted. And unfortunately, we cannot. When you respond to a discussion, and you post it, mylot will put what you have written in a "preview" format. Therein you must read your work and check if you still need to give it more nuancing or any of that kind. But once you have decided to post your dicsussion from the preview format, there is no way for you to take it back. It's been posted. Now the next stop would be to put in a tag, and to be asked if you want the interest under which you made your discussion, to be placed as one among your faved interest - if you have not already made it one. I'm sorry. But I don't think it's possible. That's why we see so many posts which had either wrongly composed or wrongly typed errors in there. That is tolerable though. This community has a good tolerance level for us who because of our frail and limited capacity as human, do commit an error.
