Now you're just being silly. Did you check your post for spelling mistakes before submitting it or were you just doing that to make a point?

If only all edits automatically came over as bold then any edit could be plain for all to see.

Edit: Ï forgot to say I know this cannot be done probably at all, but a possible, albeit difficult, programming solution could be to insert a copy of the original message within a spoiler tag automatically after a post is edited. Done behind the scenes automatically by the coding it would always mean the original message was available to be viewed within the spoiler tags.

Perhaps I am, but do you see my point in terms of corrections?

I just made a useful edit to my post above, so I'm ok with the edit available for a certain amount of time. Any change after that would have to be serious enough to perhaps warrant the assistance of a forum admin.

To summarise some of the points I made in Chat:

1) Everyone can edit their own posts for 1 hour after making them. This should be plenty of time to review and edit spelling mistakes and grammatical errors.

2) As a suggestion, it is good practice when recording your work to create it in something like Word, then review and alter it before submitting to the forum.
