Is there any possibility of an editing facility being added to forum posts. I find it frustrating that even after rereading a post before submitting it I still manage to make the occassional typo/spelling mistake which I cannot go back to and correct.  An editing facility would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

    This would be most wecome. I have been out of school 54 years and am quite aware of my shortcommings. I now have a dictionary close by when posting on Patient and do this so I don't look like an illiterate fool. Sometimes adjusting my thoughts as I go dumbing it down just to make my point.

    I second that request.   Frustrating to not be able to edit my own postings that accidently get posted before I'm ready to submit.  In mean time, I will try to create my stuff in notepad and, when satisfied, copy over to Patient.

    Great suggestion!....I make the same typo/spelling mistakes often when I'm in a hurry to answer a post and/or my time is limited...This suggestion will be "forwarded" to "Patient" moderator..
