Like "Total Recs" but for Edits = "Total Edits"
You know it makes sense.
Edit: You've gotta fix the edit logging bug first though.
Edit: If there was a "preview" available before you posted it would save people from having to edit so often......

If you read your post before pressing the button, it would avoid the need for edits!

edit; I await your attempt to prove me wrong. 😉
edit; Maybe if you read it first it looks ok - then you think of something to ADD.

.... and in the end, people will always edit their posts. I just don't think that having a preview screen would be worth it. It's another screen to go through before posting.

Originally posted by HindsteinWell, it's usually optional, so it wouldn't be something you have to go through before posting. It's useful when you are not sure the tags you are using are working. But I don't see it as important either, it doesn't take long to edit the post, so most people won't have read it before it's corrected. It's more important in forums in which you can post pictures.

Edit: Has something been done about that edit bug yet?
Edit 2: Apparently not. 😕
