Topic: whats this icon?

[Anne Robertson]

Does anyone know what the little pencil and paper icon means, I have one on my posts. I don't dare click it incase I'm never heard from again ;D

Ani, are you meaning the one which also has 'reply' written on it ??? ;D

[adam04]

its the edit in position thing.  rather than clicking edit on your post and being directed to a new window it lets you edit your post in the same screen.

Give it a go!

It is very handy Ani, when you realise that you have made a spelling mistake or some other sort of error and you can correct it, even though it  has been posted. Have used it a few times and saved my embarrassment.   :D busy_lizzie

eyes tight shut, me ;D

It's definitely going to be as useful as the spell check that I need use regularly. Only noticed it today. Can't see one on anyone else's, does that mean I've got a reputation for editing my posts ;D

[Curryandchips]

I use it on just about every post I do, since I rarely see my errors until after I have posted !

Edit - this one was ok - apart from this edit !

Personally if there is a button and I dont know what it does I like to click it and see what happens  ;D If there is a countdown from ten to zero then a strange smell of wires melting and white smoke from the monitor then I start to panic but normally it does not harm to click on a few buttons.

I remember last Christmas as a stocking filler, we gave my eldest son a little red button to stick on his keyboard, with the word PANIC written on it ...  ;D

Strange having TWO ways of taking your foot out of your mouth??

Is there some clever distinction?

[Curryandchips]

Perhaps use which ever you feel most comfortable with Tim? They certainly appear to achieve the same end result.

Thanks!

Thanks for the lovely chuckle guys - I really enjoyed this post ;D  Me, I am so inquisitive I always end up pushing the button.  Thank goodness I'm just a mad gardener and not a scientist. ::)

Clearly my granddaughter likes pushing random buttons too. Came home today to find a newly configured PC.  ::) ::)
