Kidding about banning! Relax!
Now that you've read our How to Use Our Comments and Not Get Banned guide--which is really very easy to follow--here's how to edit your comments.
Simply keep yourself logged in, scroll down to the Comments section and you should see a link called "Read the comments in the forums."
Click on that. You'll be taken to the forums page for the particular thread that you're on, and as long as you're signed in, you can edit your own comments.
Simply click on the editing button that appears in your post and you'll be able to edit.
Enjoy!

*EDIT* It worked! hooray beer!
1: Does it need to be said?
2: Does it need to be said now?
3: Does it need to be said now, by me?
It's not a secret. People just didn't realise it was there.
Yes and no! There wasn't always an easy way to get to the forums but for the last few weeks the link has been sitting right there. All you had to do was click.

Was this a secret, because I've been doing this for a little bit.
EDIT: Works for me. Is there any way to get the edit function embedded in the comments section itself?

But will this make me lazy? Will I stop proofreading my own comments because I can edit it later? Tune in again for the continuing saga of a compulsive comment poster on Tom's Hardware.
Update: The continuing saga has been dropped from our regular lineup due to lack of any audience share whatsoever. On a positive note, the edit function works smoothly.
Yeah, thanks!
And can you do me a favor and try posting on Tom's Guide?

Try that.
Ah... It only appears to work right after you have entered your comment. After that you appear to be stuck with your typos.

edited!
whow!!!! first time ever I was able to edit a post of mine in the forum!
1: Does it need to be said?
2: Does it need to be said now?
3: Does it need to be said now, by me?
Listen here buddy, most of use don't use what your type would call "logic" "common sense" or "decency". So you better take that look before you leap logic elsewhere, because we don't take kindly to your type in these parts.
1: Does it need to be said?
2: Does it need to be said now?
3: Does it need to be said now, by me?
I do that anyway, but there are the accidental double posts, grammatical errors, etc. that this is useful for. Glad there's a way to edit comments!
Oh well. It's certainly better than nothing but for those of us who don't really use the forums it's not ideal.
If someone quoted me on my original comment
and i edit it afterward, will he be misquoting me?
