"Edit This Post"

After you post, be able to make edits and replace the original post with the new one.

I don't think that's possible tho /cri

Yeah, would be useful to fix typos, and not try to bypass the "you are posting too fast"

If you look at any website's forums
That's one of the key features behind it

Sucks that you can't do it on here
Although I'd have a way to, but it'd involve databases again
And databases would probably take a while to make

probably impossible considering once you post, the post there is actually set solid
therefore it'd kinda be like breaking through the roblox meta considering you're changing something on the site using a 3rd party extension (which could also get ppl banned xd)

you wouldnt be able to edit forum posts with an extension made by anyone but roblox
im sure that'd be hacking the site?

Hmm, Typos, accidentally saying a bad word on accident, etc.. But that would make it seem like they are trying to change it because they didn't want to get banned, so yeah, I think that the feature should be available, but it may take awhile.

I had trouble understanding what you said. Anyways L2000, this is more than possibly. However you'd have to make it so only the users who posted their post would be able to edit, and I'm sure using their Session Cookie for that would be frowned on, so you'd have to create a custom login or give each user their own unique key/token/

I don't like the idea of people being able to change their thoughts and opinions after they post them.

It should be easy to do for a company as big as roblox honestly, and making it so others can't edit another users post would be rather simple, just alone or so of code.

@always

You must not be on many other forums.

@bliz

I don't think the forum template Roblox originally used had an edit post option for regular users. If it did they disabled it, and most likely for a reason.

I already basically have the code for that

I'd set it up where you'd have the edit post button basically beside the reply button on each post when you mouse over it
And then if I'm doing that I can just check who made that post and check it against the username that's shown

If its the same you can edit
If its not the same you can't

And I'm thinking having a database where you can check for the post (since the post ids are listed in all of them)
Then if its on the database you'd change the text to whatever it shows there
If its not on there you just show the text that's already on the page

Only problem with that is only Forums+ users would see the change
And ppl might not like sending information back and forth between a database and the site

Ok.

Basically, after you post the comment, it is set as is. The link is set to your comment, meaning it can only be changed by having administrative powers.

If the extension allows you to change the comment, it will be breaking the systems, because players will be doing what they're not suppose to do, due to a 3rd party (aka the extension)

this could lead to ban due to breaking the ToS and possibly "hacking" or "using 3rd party extensions to cheat on roblox"

Altho I didn't think about that
If I send it to a database and it breaks the rules in the edit
The admins won't know about it

So ye that'd never ship
Altho...
I think I have a good idea for it
Complete ROBLOX System

Hm.

L2k, there's literally an error page for trying to change your post and not being an admin xd
