Hi posters!
Have you ever been in the situation where you send a private message, but it's full of typing errors? I certainly have! Unlike normal discussions, comments, you can't edit private messages. This is a disadvantage because you might need to send another correcting it. This can make you look 'unprofessional'.

I have put this in the 'suggestions' category because I'm suggesting that a small 'edit' button could be put next to private messages. If its the same as regular posts, people will be able to know how it works easily. If this was implemented to private messaging, it would save embarrassing hassle.

Like some other of my suggestions, this isn't major. I don't want anybody panicking about it, it's been working out ok.

Thanks for reading! [{Archie}]

Agreed. Even though I don't do typo's very much but this will be a good idea. +1

Everyone makes mistakes, even the most cautious people. I don't usually make them either, but there can be the odd days where everything gets mixed up!

I make mistakes. Damen doesn't, he is the perfect grammatical programmer. I always have to say, "Message blah blah blah mak,)" and in another "Make* so penguins don't confuse words. I love the idea, and I have been waiting for this one. Great suggestion, and I have seen others post it, but you made it clearer to say. Well done Archie!

Thanks! And I agree, it is very rare to see just a typo from Damen.
