The software has been updated to allow users to edit their own comments. Comments may be edited up to a certain time after they are first posted. Site administrators/owners can set this time limit as they see fit. Currently it is set to 60 minutes.
Comments that have been edited are so notated, with a hyperlink to a page which should open up in a new browser window for you which displays the comment in it's original form (or forms in the event it's edited multiple times). There is no limit to how many times a comment may be edited (except for what you could manage in 60 minutes).
Upon editing a comment, you will be shown how much time you have to save any changes, but clicking the edit link does not give any bonus editing time. So if you see you have 5 seconds left to save changes, you better type fast and not be on a dialup connection. The "Edit" links will vanish from the threads when editing time expires but it is of course possible to click on the "Edit" link on an outdated web page, in which case you'll be kindly informed that you are too late.
Of course you can only edit your own comments. Articles may not be edited, only comments.
If an article is deleted by the admins, then so will any edited comments with it.
A few other miscellaneous changes were also done. When posting articles the URL field has been formally made optional, meaning you can leave it blank instead of putting in "none" or NA. Some minor formatting improvements have been made. The "Full Thread" link is now listed with all comments on the Latest Comments page instead of just the ones numbering over 40.
Please let me know of any bugs. Thanks.
