Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Livejournal lets you edit posts until somebody has replied to them.

Lets you fix typos quickly, doesn't let you completely change something that's had a reasoned reply to it.
Not a bad system, I think.

I like that people have to think about what they write knowing that they can't post in anger/haste and delete at leisure. A few typos is a reasonable pay off. And they make me laugh sometimes :-)

I vote for *not* having an edit function. In case anyone asks, I also vote for *not* having the means to click a button and see a list of posts made by an individual site member.

What I'd really, really like, though, is for people's posts and blog comments to remain on the site when they flounce. There are some very untidy BTL exchanges on many of my old blog entries because the comments made by people who deregistered (sometimes only briefly - YKWYA) evaporated.

Please leave it be. I squirm sometimes at my own idiocy but find others' mistypes charming.

I have my phone to suggest corrections but never put them in unless I choose to. But then I'm on Android - probably not allowed such freedom with Apple ;-)
