Can I edit an existing comment?
I keep embarrassing myself by not getting my markdown right. There's no preview, and I can't seem to edit the comment once I've saved it.
Am I being dumb and missing something?

You're talking about Tender, our support system, right? It's because you're not signed into the system. We just added support for anonymous users to post private issues through a unique cookie token (removing the need for you to setup a password). We haven't pushed this feature to comment editing so that you're able to edit your own comment.
It's of course definitely needed, as is a markdown preview.

No, I'm talking about normal issues on the site. I do have an account, I just didn't log in to post this support issue, for some reason.
e.g.
http://rspec.lighthouseapp.com/projects/16211/tickets/57-scenario-t...
I which I try to make bullet points but forget that lighthouse's flavour of markdown doesn't like the bullets to be indented.
Make sense?

We've tossed around a preview idea for LH for a while and just haven't buckled down to make the final call and see about implementing it. Not that we have full-blown markdown it would be a nice feature.
Are you a member of that rspec project? or just commenting there as a user?

If there were just a way for me to be able to go back in to a comment and edit it once I see that it looks crap, that would be enough for me - must the the cheapest answer to this problem for now, eh?
I'm using Cucumber and RSpec heavily though - it's one of the main reasons I jumped the gap from C#, and I'm active on the mailing list.
Why do you ask? Are you guys using it?

Argh - see I did it again - needed a line break after my quote.

Matt, I'm confused...you're referring to the rspec project and being able to edit your tickets. But are you an actual member of that LH project? or just a user who is posting?

No, I'm just a user who is posting.
Is that why I can't edit my own comments on a ticket?

You can edit your original ticket, but not comments. I'll see if we can't get this tweaked, or make it so for a period of time you can edit, like 30 minutes or something. Not quite sure what happened, I believe you used to always be able to edit your own tickets, but maybe it's changed.
I'll ping Rick about it and get back to you.

I'd love to see a true preview feature, not just the ability to edit comments. So often in bug reports I see people try to post code, fail, and say "sorry, let me try again..." People are trained to look for a "preview" button and won't necessarily realize they can edit their comments after the fact, IMO.

like the one on stack overflow, for example.

Yeah, a preview would be nice. Editing your comment could mean that someone still sees your broken comment.
