Hi!

I was wandering how to edit my own comments in articles and features here on Tom's hardware.
All I get are icons for useful, useless, report and quote (all grayed out because this are my comments).

Hello,

Editing of comments in this section is not possible. We don't want people to go back and completely change their comments (hence changing the whole discussion).

HI!

I was hoping there is a way to correct my typos (I am using a second keyboard with my notebook which gives me troubles); after thinking about it this does seem a way to prevent chaos and derailment of discussion.

Thank you for a quick answer.

I think that a 1-3 minute "cooldown" period for editing would be ok. I doubt a discussion could be affected if you edited that fast. But yes, the last thing we want is people changing the comments the next day when another page or 2 of discussion has been posted :)
