Post by: adam04 on March 05, 2006, 10:35:51: 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!

Post by: Anne Robertson on March 05, 2006, 15:11:49: 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

Post by: Curryandchips on March 05, 2006, 16:07:59: 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 !

Post by: the_snail on March 07, 2006, 00:58:55: 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.

Post by: tim on March 07, 2006, 11:18:51: Strange having TWO ways of taking your foot out of your mouth??

Is there some clever distinction?

Post by: Curryandchips on March 07, 2006, 11:48:27: Perhaps use which ever you feel most comfortable with Tim? They certainly appear to achieve the same end result.

Post by: Jitterbug on March 07, 2006, 15:27:26: 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. ::)
