One other thought on the subject of editing... and this is especially for Nigel:

I wish there were tools available here to make adding URL links and pictures easier so it wasn't necessary to write out the UBB or HTML codes manually. All other discussion forums I know of have such tools, and a preview function would also help prevent errors. As it is I often have to edit my posts after they are posted not to change the contents but to fix minor errors that screw up links or pix. So if editing is done away with I would appreciate either some easy-to-use UBB functions for adding links and pix and/or a preview function so that posts can be checked before committing. Thanx.
