    Dear Pete,

    What would be the cost to you of implementing a thread model where we can edit prior to posting ?

    I’d love to contribute if it’s a financial hit for you. My problem is I am out and about a good deal. I often use a phone a to contribute here. What with an over vigorous autocomplete, spellcheck, failing eyesight and being too disorganised / vain to wear glasses 🤓 I am always stuffing up.

    I know you’ve addressed this before, but us there anyway you’d consider if and allow us to contribute.

      I’d love to have an edit function available.

      I’ll look into it again, but it’s not just a cost issue, it is also time and management.

      As far as I’m aware it requires self hosting of WordPress (or shifting to a totally different system), so that means finding someone who can host it, and either paying for it to be managed or self managing, something i don’t want to spend time on.

      Any advice on this is welcome.

          Sympathize trav, but the ability to edit is a two edged sword. There are a few posters here who would like nothing more than make you look like an idiot after a carefully crafted response to their original unedited post

        I looked recently and didn’t find any solution for the wordpress hosted option that PG uses. I don’t think managing a self-hosted site is too difficult (wordpress updates itself automatically) but there would be an annual cost.
