My deleted thread!!

As I see it, it isn't the fact that a thread has been deleted, it's that there is no record of it ever having existed!

It would be helpful if the Notice that appears on the 'I'm On' section could be put on Active, until it disappears naturally.

You should have a 24 hour-second-chance-to-read-it option. A ghost thread. Very feint but just readable. For those who missed the fun interesting conversation.

such common sense, dear jingle

I still don't understand why this is the only forum I use that doesn't let people edit their posts. I actually have a sort of conspiracy theory about it . Maybe mumsnet is the same.

I can understand that one. People would be answering the post as it first appeared, and then it wouldn't make sense. Could be very confusing. and we get confused enough as it is

Doesn't cause a problem on other forums to my knowledge.

Oh, right. I don't know. I've never done any other forums except this one and MN.

Every other forum I use has an edit function and its works fine no problems its most annoying not being able to do it here..

Another forum I use did have problems with posts being edited after a reply had been made. It has now reduced the length of time in which an edit can be made to (I think) 4 minutes. That seems to work okay. It gives you time to notice a typo and sort it out.
(That forum also warns you if someone else has posted while you were writing your post and lets you see what it was.)
