Editing discussions

I think mylot should so something to allow us edit our discussions at least for five minutes after posting. Hope they would do soon.

Yes, I definitely wish I could edit a discussion I posted. I like that Gather lets me do that. The edit feature would be great to have, but I guess each site is different and that's what makes me like them. About posting twice, I hit the report button and ask mylot to delete my second response. And if I can't report it myself, I respond under the second repeat answer and ask someone else to do it. And they usually do. By the way, are you on Gather? If so, I'd love to add you as a friend.

You're not the only one arkaf. I too wish that we could edit our posts. As it is I just forgot a word that I would have liked to have added in a response that I had made to you in a previous discussion. I could have done so if we had an edit feature. But alas, that isn't the case. Shoot, I even proofed it a few times, but missed it with my tired eyes. Here we are allowed to copy and paste after reaching a certain amount of posts, yet mylot refuses to do the same when it comes to an edit feature. Oh well, what can we do about it, other than be more careful before hitting the submit button? We could always suggest it (like that hasn't already been done), but I can already hear admin saying something about how it would screw up the earnings system, we should be more careful, blah, blah, blah. Well, what the hell, you could always give it a shot anyway. Write to mylot and see what they say. You never know, they might just go for it if enough people want it. Just be sure to send them the link to this discussion for added emphasis. Good luck!

yes it would be really nice. Too often I type a post, proofread it and then as I'm hitting the post button, that's when I see the error.

I think u must have a clear mind before posting.

I would also prefer an editing option to correct my typos or spelling errors. The cooling off period of 10-15 minutes is a really good idea. I hope the admin looks into this matter and something like this is implemented soon :D

Yes I do wish they had one to lol I know at all the other Places I am able to edit or delete after I have posted it so I hope that one day we will get that on here

You are not! I'm sure many of us would like to edit conversations. The presumed argument against allowing us to do that would be 1) if myLot pays even a little penny for something that was submitted then they understandably don't want us to have the power to remove it (but they could have a short chilling out period, say 15 minutes during which time we could correct mistakes, couldn't they, hint, hint...), and 2) many people are submitting comments from all over at the same time, and if we make a mistake but someone replies to it while we are saying, oops, and then we change our answer, I suppose the other person's reply might not make sense and then they would be inconvenienced...maybe. So I think our comments are sort of going to remain etched in stone. I'm sure we have both seen some made here that will surely come back to haunt the writer.

I guess that it would be a very good idea. Sometimes you make mistakes when posting and wish you could go back and fix it up, without actually making a comment under your post writing down what your mistake was. I think you should be able to edit your posts if you wish too. This idea has always been popping up by many many users and I am pretty sure that the mylot team have thought about it, but are just not upto doing it. What if it affects the earning system? You can wite a long post then edit and only write a sentence. Like copy and paste a paragraph from somewhere else so it looks quality, then quickly edit and put your own sentence in so you still got the earning for the "quality" post you did, if that makes sense.

no your not the only one i want to edit them to.

I would like to have that capability here in MyLot to be able to edit a few of my discussions but without it though, it makes me proof read my responses to make sure everything is okay. For me, I think the creator of MyLot has reasons to why they made it the way it is. Actually proof reading makes me do better in writing to make sure it gets credited daily.

Don't worry friend. You are not alone. There are also times where I need to edit my posts but since we do not have the ability to do so, I can do nothing. That is why as much as possible, I take extra precautions in posting. :)

That would be a good thing to be able to edit your posts. Maybe the administrators will pay attention and try to add this feature soon.

i'd like ot be able to edit posts after posting them if i did sometihng wrong in them

I have seen several things I would like to edit just about the time I hit post! I have wondered why we can't edit our own posts, but it would be pretty difficult to set up I would think. I suppose I will just need to slow down and preview the response!

I too have been a victim in discussion land. It would be great if your idea could really happen, so I'll just take a number and be seated..... :O)
