Editing and Deleting Comments
Ever made a typo in a comment, or left the comment with the wrong account?

Now thanks to Joe and Ayça, you can edit your comments for 15 minutes after submitting! And if you are still not satisfied, you can always delete your comment and post a new one.

Here's how it works:
- After you submit your comment, you will see an “edit” link below your comment as shown above. The “edit” link will be there as long as you keep the page open.
- If you visit the page again in 15 minutes, you will still be able to edit your comment. But if you come back after 15 minutes, you will not see the "edit" link.
- You can delete your comment any time you want.
Note that editing and deleting comments works only on themed sites for now. Please check it out and let us know what you think.

I can't tell you how many times I could have used this in the past. I'm sure everyone will use this quite often!

Awesome! Now xanga is complete!

And no more spam-menting when the net tries to make you look like a fool!

what happens if you've left the page open for longer than 15 minutes... and then they decide to click on 'edit'... should something appear saying they can't edit the comment?
thanks for this feature.. it'll help a lot in reducing the comment counts on posts.. instead of having like 5 or 10 comments of the same person fixing their typos.. it could just be 1 or 2 comments instead! :D

@SecksyRx3 - as long as you see the edit link there, you should be able to edit your comment. We thought that would be better for everyone.

hey y'all. i'm still using the old non-themes page (which i LOVE, still). i see that the *reply* function is under each of my comments, but there is no *edit* or *delete*. any particular reason this *reply* is built into the old page, but not the *edit/delete* function??

JUST WONDERIN'.

@be_the_rain - there is not a specific reason. we just did not have time to do it for unthemed pages yet.
