Today we introduce the long awaited edit function in the forum.

So the logic behind this update for those that want to understand when the Edit button appears and disappears. When you load a New Thread the edit button will be available right up until there is a Reply. Once any Reply is loaded the Edit button and subsequent editing process will fail to work, even if you are composing the update and someone comes along and replies the edit operation will fail. This same logical approach is the same for Reply and Follow-up. If you Reply you can edit until there is a Follow-up to your Reply. If you Follow-up you can edit till there is a subsequent Follow-up.

Be aware that the email system will still send out the update emails for each and every Edit so if you are editing a long list of Follow-ups be aware that each submission will send an alert email to all those subscribed to the thread ether via Thread Watch or as contributing to the Thread/Reply.

Hope you enjoy the new function. Any problem please let me know, the system is live and will be working on all threads already in the system.
