Facebook allows editing your posts. Faithlife should too. You can delete them and repost anew, but if it was a longish post that's a pain. Yeah, I know you can copy it to the clipboard first before deleting, and then paste and edit it first before posting again. But still, should be able to simply edit the post the way one can on Facebook.

    Agreed, this should be a priority.

    I had written a longer post about wanting to be able to edit posts, but then when I posted the message I noticed a More button located next to the reply button on right corner of my message. When I clicked on it, one of the options was Edit along with some other options.

    I must be missing something.  It seems to me we already have a window of opportunity to edit our posts.

    I think you two are mixing up the Logos forum ( http://community.logos.com/forums  ), offered by the company now called Faithlife, with the online presence (groups& discussions etc) on http://faithlife.com , offered by the same company, which is discussed in this subforum. Over there, AFAIK posts have no edit functionality. The same goes for Community Notes in Logos / Verbum the bible study software since they use the same editor.

    Agreed, Rosie.  That functionality would be quite helpful.  Thank you for raising this point.
