A question about editing our posts on GN

No, it isn’t, unfortunately. Requests for this facility have been made but none has been forthcoming.

If it is to change something important - that it reveals too much about you, or is a wrong fact, or that you recognise would insult someone or be misleading, that kind of thing, you could report your post to Gransnet through the "report" button and ask them to change it. Whenever I have asked, they have done it, and I know they have for others.

Agree with Elegran

Thank you 😊

It would be useful if there was an edit button, wouldn’t it? Another forum I use does have an edit facility, I think you have up to an hour to change something if you’ve noticed an error. Not really sure why this can’t be done on GN, though.

We have asked dozens of times it’s not for want of asking I think everyone would like just a short time to edit their posts but No

Mumsnet has an edit button now. I think Gransnet is viewed as the poor relation.

If Mumsnet has one, we may also get one in time 🤞😊

No I ve been on here about 11 years and there has always been posts asking for one
there is no intention of giving us one Fairycakes

It irritates me if I make a mistake so I would love an edit feature.

We do need an editing option. I find it's easy to make mistakes when typing on my phone. I don't always notice straight away. And sometimes I'd like to change the title of my post to reflect the subject of it more accurately. Has Admin ever explained why we are not given the option?

I think their argument is that subsequent posts might not nake sense if the op was later changed.

Having been here since the beginning, we seem to have coped without.

That is true kittylester and probably the main reason why.
