Nick, Mudcat predates boards that use that the software that lets you do that kind of editing, and as a result we have a couple of thousand other, really cool features THEY don't have. We do have a "preview" function where you can see how your post will look and fix what needs fixing once you submit-- to the right of the SUBMIT MESSAGE button.

If you make a bad typo, you can request help in the Help forum. Easier is just to fix it and submit a second, "duplicate" post. The site volunteers usually see these and knock out the first, assumed-to-have-been-corrected post.
