| 474446 | 2006-07-28 19:31:00 | While I am actively editing a post, is the original (old) post still available to others who might be viewing? :confused: ....or do I hold it away from the site as I am modifying it and it won't be visable until I click "SUBMIT"? |

| 474447 | 2006-07-28 20:40:00 | I have noticed that following an edit I have to refresh my screen to see the edit in my browser if that is any help | kjaada (253) | ||
| 474448 | 2006-07-28 21:20:00 | I've always asssumed that the original is still viewable by others while I'm editing - hence the need to do it asp.. It'll be interesting to get the definitive answer from a Mod. |

Good question. Further more I just realised that I quoted the wrong poster - should have been surfers post I was responding to. :) |

| 474450 | 2006-07-28 23:21:00 | Yeah, your original post remains fully viewable while you are re-editing it. Furthermore, depending upon how slow you are and the timing, people who have subscribed to that thread with email notifications can get an email with the pre-edit content. | Jen (38) | ||
