Yeah, but if I edit them, it won't show up as a new post to the forum [addsig]

Edits aren't always the best thing to do in my opinion, as the thread won't be listed as updated on the forums page so you may not bother checking it again. If the posts are after a significant time gap (30 minutes or so) and are of some importance, I think a new post is preferrable to an edit. [addsig]

Exactly... But if we could delete our posts, you could simply copy the text on post 1, delete it, and paste it for post 2 and add to it. [addsig]

While that makes sense to avoid the clutter of double posts yet get the advantage of updating the thread, I think it would be easier if Lep made editting threads update them on the forum view...or perhaps give users the option of making it update a thread so they can not bother if they were making insubstantial changes such as fixing typos.

/me hobbles off to suggestions thread

Thanks fizscy

So do the invites come as an email? If I get some I'll post here under the same terms.

Some friends of mine were telling me you get more invites if you use it more frequently... ("frequently" being some nebulous term that Google has tried to define)

Well I'm one of those people that has no life and keeps visiting my sites over and over each hour to see if anything has changed So that may be why it only took 14 hours for me to get invites [addsig]

You have to wait a month or 2 to get your invites, I've only just got mine and I've got 3 left. And no I'm not handing them out to anyone so don't bother PM'ing me unless I know who you are lol!

Gmail isn't just about the space you get though. It's about the interface, it's so unique and cool. Oh and btw if you don't like other people reading your emails don't use Gmail. Read the terms and conditions google team are allowed to read them I believe, its part of thier mission to organise the internet without physically moving anything.

Microsoft are allowed to read hotmail messages, and they probably do. [addsig]

I haven't got any invites yet, but once I do, you'll get one because you're from Sweden.

Depends on your definition of black metal, but In Flames and Katatonia are awesome.

Do you know of Dark Throne? They're from Norway, but they're one of the biggest black metal groups. Or Sorhin?

Can't say I've heard of either... I've heard of Dimmu Borgir/Opeth/Otep but I don't like any of 'em... Norther might be 'black metal,' I can't say I can tell the differences between those crazy genres.
