    I'm new to this whole forum thing but find it the most interesting and helpful web site I've visited in quite a few years. In posting replys I find my posted reply always has an "edit' button at the bottom. Why is it there and why don't other posters have it -- what am I doing wrong to get that -- I don't need it or want it (I think)!!

    Second question: Do you have a glossary anywhere to help us new comers with the acronyms? All that alphabetic soup can be over whelming!

    Many thanks again for a great service!

    Thanks

    Hi Moshe, and welcome to PriusChat. The Edit button is only available on your own messages. That is, you see a Edit button on your posts only, I see an Edit button on my posts only.

    And check out the Acronyms and Abbreviations page at http://priuschat.com/index.php?autocom=art...rticle&id=9

    -- Now that I've posted it, I clicked the Edit button to add this line -- :)

    It exists simply so you can correct or change a post. It's not uncommon that the erudite post you just clicked "Add Reply" for is jibberish or has a overt spelling error once it comes up. This just allows you to go back and correct or clarify.

    No, I didn't look at the time stamp on message, but I'm wondering why it took from June 26th to July 3rd for me to receive the message. I have "email notification" turned on so I responded when I opened his message. Any thoughts on this? Thanks for reminding me to look at the "time stamps" on messages.
