Can we have an edit function?

Good tip about the posts per page, though....

Show-off! Some of us are mere fledglings at this, Glassortwo!

Where have you all been I always run my threads so the latest is first and I also have 100 posts per page so I dont have to mess changing pages when reading the posts, I always use the bookmarks too catch up you lot

I am having to change it back.

I can't stop flipping! The habit is too ingrained.

I only discovered its function myself by accident...

Glad to have been of help!

I'd noticed it but didn't think I needed to explore it.

I don't think I had even seen that 'customise' word there!

Is it the same on Mumsnet? I've been on there for years!

Thank you Anagram.

ooh yes, so it does! I hadn't noticed either!

Me too Carol and I've been here forever!

Well I never! Thanks! I joined Gransnet and just threw myself into chatting without learning any of the tech stuff!

Click on the Customise box next to the Flip one, and it'll give you all your options. You can then set your preference so the posts come up like that every time!

Right. I've thought.

When I click on a thread from the Actives menu, it comes up with the original post at the top. And I want to see the latest comment. So I have to flip.

How do you customise?

Carol If you click on add comment on the pink bit, it goes down for you.

Anagram I will think about yours when my brain has had a rest.

Thanks for the reminder Anagram - I had got so used to those buttons being there, I wasn't even seeing them!

I think we're at cross-purposes here! Carol mentioned the order of posts, but before that we were talking about an edit facility.

Surely you don't have to use the 'flip' button every time, Whatsa? You can customise....

So it is Jings I was looking before and couldn't find it. We still have to scroll down to respond, though - must be getting lazy!

We have got a 'flip' button. Am I the only one who uses that every time?

I wondered why most people refer to a post as being 'further up the thread', whilst for me it's further down!

I meant the 'preview message though'. It gives you a chance to correct any mistakes. (blue box in front of 'post message')

Do you mean the 'flip' facility at the top of the thread?

I thought we had a facility to reverse the links so the last one appeared first, but perhaps I imagined it - it certainly isn't there now and it would be very useful.

That would work if I just wanted to check what I had written but I am more bothered by the times when my computer makes a unilateral decision to post before I have finished.

Preview and then post? (amend your preview)

I just have, but it is messy and I don't like mess!

Yes, but that would just draw attention to your original cock-up mistake!
