Accidentaly editing posts when replying

Sometimes when I try to respond to a post, I accidently edit another members post on accident thinking I was replying and totally fuck it up. Is there way to prevent this?
Any mods have this issue?

I have done that a dozen times or more. There's nothing practical that you can do except put it back to how it was and leave a note in the post saying that you accidently hit the edit button instead of reply. It wouldn't hurt to send a PM to the person as well, because I'm pretty sure they get a PM notification when it is edited.

What? Of course there's something you can do about it. Just write a patch so that you're warned that you're editing another user's post if the UID doesn't match yours. Alternatively, you could just move the edit button someplace where it's less likely to be clicked on accident.

Yes it is. You don't even need to fuck around with anything on the server-side. You just need to edit the webpages that you're downloading.

It's not absurd. It's client side scripting.

Those aren't mutually exclusive. It can be both absurd and client-side scripting.

That makes no sense at all. What are you even talking about?
At any rate, just write a userscript...

, yeah you fuckin dumbasses, why don't you all just learn Javascript and CSS and DOM manipulation real quick and stop wasting homeboy's time up there? I swear, you tell people to write a simple userscript these days and they just look at you like you're some kind of autistic douchebag.

Some lawyer told me that it was impossible and that we're all doomed to wallow in his own sense of helplessness. 
I also genuinely wonder whether Enlil picked up on your sarcasm.

Funny...I was wondering if you would. This obsession you have with me is unhealthy.

I suppose y'all could just pay more attention to what you're doing? Much love, LC.

Whoa!

Looks like you added a new feature Ythan. I accidently clicked Edit on a persons post and a window prompt came up that said "You are about to edit another user's post. OK? Cancel?"
Thanks Ythan, that's exactly what it needed
