Wow. Has anyone else noticed that for the last two days we've been able to edit our own answers?
and not some random other users ones?
That's a step in the right direction isn't it?
So well done Yamster...I suppose.
Okowhosey.
I am pleased for you that this very distressing and disturbing glitsch did not affect you personally. For others of us though it happened frequently over the past few weeks. I NEVER took advantage of the situation to do anything dishonest or unprincipled. I ALWAYS informed people in the edit space of what had happened and assured the original poster that I had done nothing untoward with their words.
What did happen every time though was that my own answer disappeared.
oh and btw: You're SO rude!
For Okowhosey's edification:

You will note I was unable to raise even a reply from an actual Yahoo staffer on the issue.
I did NOT click the edit function on another users answer. It is not possible to do that as the edit function only appears to you under your OWN answer.
Please ensure you have your facts straight and your head is extracted from your ar$e before replying to another user in such a hostile and unhelpful manner!
Just in case any revisionist editing happens. Okywhatseys answer originally was:
"You could ALWAYS edit your own answers. Any one who edited ANOTHER person's answer should receive a violation notice. Just because you accidentally clicked the Edit button on the wrong answer does NOT grant you the right to edit another person's answer because of a programming error."
