I've only been on this forum for around a day but I like what I see so far :D. I do have one suggestion however, for the love of god please make it so you can see what you typed when you edit your message. I find it very frustrating having to type the whole message again just to correct a spelling or a similar small error. Also please add the ability to remove a reply, of course I might just be 100% retarded in which case please explain to me how I do the above. Peace

You already the can. That glitch of not being able to see what you typed when you edit is caused by using an invalid symbol.
Thank you all
And, in general, you can't delete your posts once you make them. If you post something and then want to remove it, if the thread hasn't been locked, you edit your post. Generally, it looks like this: -snip- Post revision history is sometimes public, however, so this doesn't let you permanently hide things because people can see what was there before (like Wikipedia history). And mods can see old revisions even if they're not displayed to regular users.
If you want to edit your post and it won't show up, you can always press "reply", then remove the quotation marks around the text. Then you just go back, hit edit and enter the post there. Bang, you got your post to edit.
also if you think of something you want to add to your comment but dont want to go through and edit it, just reply again right after you post [editline]19th July 2014[/editline] like this [editline]19th July 2014[/editline] called automerge

ok peace
