We have been asking for those features for over 10 years. to my knowledge.

Eadit button. See what I mean.........?

A "Like" Button - No
A Spill Chucker - Yes

BUT, be careful what you wish for. More functionality on the forum platform will cost more in terms of licensing, managing and all the other ongoing costs associated with IT paraphanalia.

So, all in all, it's a simple platform that does enough to achieve the aim of a forum for discussing safety issues; More cost will either result in membership fees going up or some other member service being cut,

So, lets just leave it as it is,

Jim

And the ability to attach / upload docs, photos etc

Dex Pees - write on.

I two want anerd hit button.

Or would this constitute violation of forum rules?

I always thought that general perception was we are all nerds on here, and as such we are allowed to beat ourselves up as much as we like about what have / should have done.

I guess the counter argument would be we check what we write before we post and we are a little forgiving for the odd typo.

Entertaining, informative and witty, all in one post. I think this is the way forward. Maybe a scorecard button for each post. This one gets 10/10 for all three categories.

I am willing to increase my membership by £0.001 per annum to fund this upgrade ;-)

Jay, I take it your are the IOSH CEO, with that comment?

IOSH a charity? You are having a laugh.... its an old boys club. Funny handshakes etc

Its not Friday but.........

Eye halve a spelling chequer

It came with my pea sea

It plainly marques four my revue

Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word

And weight four it two say

Weather eye am wrong oar write

It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid

It nose bee fore two long

And eye can put the error rite

Its rarely ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it

I am shore your pleased two no

Its letter perfect in it's weigh

My chequer tolled me sew.

So what stopped anyone posting something like, "I agree with JoeBloggs".

Having a disagree button will not foster discussion at all. People will click it and you get no discussion. The point of this forum can be to find best practice and that will come from people having differing opinions. I think anything that may reduce or remove the chance of someone sharing their opinion should not be used, simple!

I really don't see the need for the facebook-esque agree/disagree like/dislike options, but that is my opinion and of course others will differ.

And this really isn't like facebook.... If your suggesting that you ask for advice on H&S related information and interpretation of laws to your facebook mates then aside from barking up the wrong tree I think your friends list may begin to shrink just a little bit!!!

I jest (sort of...) but I really think that this forum serves a very different service to being able to like your mates status'!

If you have an edit button and use it to correct typos etc ok, but what if you completely change the post. Would that not make the following posts read out of context. Making those posters potentially look stupid ?
