~ Readers can now edit their comments.

I have decided that readers of my humble blog should have the ability to edit their own comments, there are of course many reasons why a reader would want to edit their comment, such as fixing grammatical errors, any type of minor adjustment to the comment, altering or modifying a thought, tidying up the structure of a comment.. etc.

So, Given all that, I have implemented this feature on my blog, naturally there will be a limited time in which the user can edit the comment, i have set the time for 6 minutes, after which the comment will be saved without the ability of editing, i think 6 minutes is enough time, what do you think?

I hope this will make the experience of interacting with this blog a little bit more enjoyable and dynamic. I have tested the system and it seems to be working fine, however, if you notice any bugs or unusual behavior or any type of error, please let me know.

Thank you, and always remember, If it glows don’t touch it! :biggrin:

    Hmm, I hate you :)
    Now I’m going to start churning code to do the same idea because … Yes I think it’s a great idea!

    But the problem with the time limit is that it’s too short (for a long comment) You might need more time to just proof read it.
    Then there is the security and timing issues. It will be interesting to see how these are resolved
    A long time ago I allowed my readers (who register) to delete their own comments and that was a disaster!

    Anyway, I’ll think about it! But I think it’s a good idea and a noble effort!
    (damn you, I just finished writing the code to add country flags, retroactively)

    Just edited this comment! This is cool!

    I just noticed, the time left starts from 2m30s not 3m

    Oh crap, the timer doesn’t wait for me while I’m updating!

    Yeah, this is fun!

    Screws up the submit time
