The ability to edit a critique request.

<p>When commenting on photograph you are given a short time to edit the post before it is set in stone. It would be a good idea if this time limit could also be applied to critique requests. I am sure I have asked this before but nothing seems to have been done about it. I bring it up again as I have just noticed a rather silly typo on my latest critique request. I guess I could delete the photograph and re-submit it but that does cause other problems. </p>

<p>As you mention yourself, David, this has been asked for numerous times and answered with a negative response from the administrations. I don't think you can expect a different answer by repeating the question.<br /> I agree with you, by the way. Silly typos, and the like, are considered historical gems to be protected and preserved for eternity here on Photonet :)</p>

<p>I don't think that it is the reason that silly tyops are considered as gems to be preserved, I think it is rather that if all that is written could be altered by the author at a later time, then there would be innumerable (mostly bad) consequences.</p>

<p>As you two chaps have a "+10" banner after your names, I think I am correct in assuming that you should remember when there was a ZERO edit time after one <strong>Confirmed</strong> any post to Photo.net.</p>

<p>After much discussion, with the membership as I recall, there was an edit window of ten minutes adopted. I think that ten minute window is universal across all user input: forum, critiques, . . . etc.</p>

<p>I too have typos entered for posterity - that's life: my most common one is "form" instead of "from".</p>

<p>It just means that we need to pay as much attention to the detail of what we write as to the lighting of our pictures - at least there is ten minutes to have a second bite at the cherry and that's much more time than I get with some photos that I make.</p>

<p>WW</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Oh! I see that I have misread your post David - it is a particular case concerning the text that one submits in the "Critique Request" which you are discussing.</p>

<p>My comments are relevant about having a short edit time allowance: but do not address your issue.</p>

<p>I did think that the edit window of ten minutes, was universal across the site: apparently that is not so.</p>

<p>Sorry.</p>

<p>WW</p>

<p>@Anders. Yes! Repeating questions and requests can work. Indeed, the more people that ask for something, the chances of something being implemented increases. I hope more people will ask for this feature to be implemented.</p>
