    Oh damn...this parachute is a knapsack!

    Discussion in 'New Member Introductions' started by iRoppa, Feb 13, 2017.

    Hello everyone,

    My name is Paul and I love books! Being an author is my dream. Whether I realise that dream, well, that all depends on you lot doesn't it. So no pressure!

    I have written bits and bobs over the years, nothing that's convalesced into anything solid but I do try.

    Anyway, I'm always happy to give and take criticism and I make no apologies for my sarcasm or my off-center sense of humour. You'll just have to deal. Deal?

    I look forward to making it big and forgetting you all.

    Yes, I've spotted my mistake, but can I find the edit button? No!

    Are you also bad at the advice? I'd be interested in a sarcastic comment. ;)

    Sorry, but I can't help you become a writer (more competition for me, noooooo!). So let's see . . . you're sarcastic with off center humor. Yup, you'll get along just fine here :p.

    The edit button goes away after about 30 minutes for new members, which I recently learned is an anti-spam feature. In time, you'll be allowed to edit your posts well after you've posted them.

    So I have to prove I'm adult enough to edit my own posts? Oh dear. Is there an edit-by-proxy option?

    I'm good at bad advice if that's really what you're after? I'd advise against it, though ;)

    Well, I couldn't find the actual post, but basically the purpose of preventing new members from editing after 30 minutes is to keep companies/spammers from posting totally legitimate posts, then going back and editing in an advertisement. I've forgotten the details on how it all works (and I read it like, last week!), but that's the basic idea.

    You could grovel and beg a mod. They like laughs as much as anyone.

    But yeah, so you made a mistake, it happens, no worries, welcome aboard.

    Ahaha! I warn you that, though I grew up with four nutty brothers, I still get confused by certain humor :superconfused:. Prepare for some misunderstandings! Buahahahaha!
