Can we change how long after a post you can edit the post without the enormous yellow Edit banner showing up? Most forums give you a 2-3 minute buffer where you can edit your post without the Edit notification being pasted on your post.

On a similar note, does the banner have to be THAT big and intrusive? Holy crap man...

A valid question. I guess I just make more than my share of spelling and general typos. Immediately after posting, I re-read it and want to correct my mistake. But now there's a giant yellow banner at the bottom of my post. It wouldn't bother me so much if the banner wasn't larger than my post sometimes....

^^ Exactly ^^ It helps catch people who say stupid shit first and google last, lol

A 2 minute buffer is all I'm asking for. Hell, easy 60 seconds if enough. No big mouth saying stupid shit is going to back pedal that quickly.
I mean *even* 60 seconds *is* enough. Perfect example....

Re-read and use "preview post" if you need to before hitting "add reply".

Whatever you put out there can be out there forever anyway if someone quotes it. Get it as right as you can the first time even if it takes a bit longer.

Static drops are my bag.

I figured that would be the response. Unfortunately I, like many others, use the quick reply box.

Just sayin.... this is the ONLY message board I've ever seen zero buffer before pasted the Edit banner on your post. Coincedently, it also has, by far, the largest and most annoying banner.

Doesn't bother me, i edit all the time.

Sometimes you hit the post button before the eye catches your mistakes in typing.

Ive never heard anyone complain about it, and ive never had a problem with it. Its really not that intrusive, or annoying.
