The short edit thing needs to go. Its quite annoying. Its a FAR larger problem than the possibility that someone could come along and "edit" their post, changing the entire thread. Its one of the most annoying aspects of this board. Im on a lot of other boards that dont have this "feature" and there are NO problems due to not having this "feature".
I think its much better to add additional info to the original post (or higher up in the thread), then having to add an addendum to the bottom of the thread (the only way available now). People have to read through an entire thread to get to the needed info, when I could have just edited the original post.
Honestly, I wish 1000% that this board would do away with this unneeded "feature".
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to edit an original post with something like this:
****Thanks for all those that chimed in. I was able to fix the problem. It was the spark plugs, as recommedded by bubbatime. Installed new spark plugs, and my car is now fixed. Thanks all.****
