I've seen part of a bicycle pump, and an umbrella both used for tubular picks.

It will be hard to edit without an edit function, though I suppose reposting it would be no bad thing. Thanks for the links.

Just keep bugging admins to edit the post for you. :lol: ( Be very specific if you pm them and it shouldn't too much of a problem.)

No.

The simple answer is that due to abuse, the edit function was removed. Just collect all the links together and ask a member of the moderator team to add them to your post. :)

Why not just make a sticky about it and go from there? :idea:

maby take new posts from the OP in the sticky and copy/paste to origanal part of OP...or just do it how ever it works out... :?

Link from Faq section. I'm sure there's other posts like it too.

It's a little harder to find though, so I agree that another sticky in this section wouldn't hurt.
