To submit a post, you enter it, hit the "submit" button and your post then appears for you to review. At this point you can finalize your submission. I find it very difficult to review my posts in the "box" provided and always seem to miss alot of typos etc. Is there anyway to correct a post after it has gone through the first submission stage or do you have to go back and start all over again? ksvt

Whatever was originally submitted will still be there, so you can just make whatever changes are necessary.
