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.</p>
<p>It's of course definitely needed, as is a markdown preview.</p></div>Ricktag:help.lighthouseapp.com,2008-09-20:Comment/155482008-11-13T08:00:58Z2010-01-18T19:07:31ZCan I edit an existing comment?<div><p>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.</p>

<p>I which I try to make bullet points but forget that lighthouse's
flavour of markdown doesn't like the bullets to be indented.</p>
<p>Make sense?</p></div>Matt Wynnetag:help.lighthouseapp.com,2008-09-20:Comment/155482008-11-13T08:08:32Z2009-06-20T20:04:18ZCan I edit an existing comment?<div><p>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.</p>
<p>Are you a member of that rspec project? or just commenting there
as a user?</p></div>Will Duncantag:help.lighthouseapp.com,2008-09-20:Comment/155482008-11-13T09:23:33Z2010-01-18T19:07:31ZCan I edit an existing comment?<div><p>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?</p>

think they'll let me loose on the code yet!</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>Why do you ask? Are you guys using it?</p></div>Matt Wynnetag:help.lighthouseapp.com,2008-09-20:Comment/155482008-11-13T09:24:35Z2010-01-18T19:07:31ZCan I edit an existing comment?<div><p>Argh - see I did it again - needed a line break after my
quote.</p></div>Matt Wynnetag:help.lighthouseapp.com,2008-09-20:Comment/155482008-11-13T19:22:20Z2009-06-20T20:04:21ZCan I edit an existing comment?<div><p>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?</p></div>Will Duncantag:help.lighthouseapp.com,2008-09-20:Comment/155482008-11-14T10:45:21Z2010-01-18T19:07:31ZCan I edit an existing comment?<div><p>No, I'm just a user who is posting.</p>
<p>Is that why I can't edit my own comments on a ticket?</p></div>Matt Wynnetag:help.lighthouseapp.com,2008-09-20:Comment/155482008-11-14T19:40:03Z2009-06-20T20:04:28ZCan I edit an existing comment?<div><p>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.</p>
<p>I'll ping Rick about it and get back to you.</p></div>Will Duncantag:help.lighthouseapp.com,2008-09-20:Comment/155482008-12-03T15:39:49Z2009-06-20T20:07:36ZCan I edit an existing comment?<div><p>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.</p></div>Andrewtag:help.lighthouseapp.com,2008-09-20:Comment/155482008-12-03T20:20:15Z2010-01-18T19:07:31ZCan I edit an existing comment?<div><p>+1</p>
<p>like the one on stack overflow, for example.</p></div>Matt Wynnetag:help.lighthouseapp.com,2008-09-20:Comment/155482008-12-09T10:56:59Z2009-06-20T20:08:54ZCan I edit an existing comment?<div><p>Yeah, a preview would be nice. Editing your comment could mean
that someone still sees your broken comment.</p></div>manfredtag:help.lighthouseapp.com,2008-09-20:Comment/155482008-12-09T18:25:32Z2012-07-20T15:35:55ZCan I edit an existing comment?<div><p>This discussion was assigned to Jeremy McAnally, on ticket
