some forum-software questions

As much as I appreciate this forum I have some questions on the way it works:

1. Why can't we paste screenshots
2. Why cant we enlarge screenshots in posts
3. Why can't we edit our own post
4. Why are we forced to mark another's post as 'Solved' when it was not the post but something else we might have found on our own
5. Being mostly a developer forum, why is there no way to mark a block of code as such; instead of having it in an unreadable non-monospace font blending with rest of message
6. Why is there no spell-check; seems like the browser's default text-area spell check has been disabled ?
7. Why I always get a 503 message after every post.

1. Why can't we paste screenshots
In the text area, you need to select image icon.
2. Why can't we enlarge screenshots in posts
on screenshots click right click select open image in new tab.
3. Why can't we edit our own post
currently it is not available but this nice feature to have
4. Why are we forced to mark another's post as 'Solved' when it was not the post but something else we might have found on our own
when someone asks to write whole code for them so technically it not possible. so someone can refer to similar articles
5. Being mostly a developer forum, why is there no way to mark a block of code as such; instead of having it in an unreadable non-monospace font blending with rest of message
you can post code in format  add code sample icon in the text area
6. Why is there no spell-check; seems like the browser's default text-area spell check has been disabled?
the nice observation, you may use Grammarly Chrome extension for that
7. Why I always get a 503 message after every post.
sometimes I also face this issue so I refresh the page multiple times

ps: if someone writes answers for you and it helps you make sure that you mark the best answer so other people can also benefit

I knew that, I was asking about why we cannot PASTE, not attach :)

2. Why can't we enlarge screenshots in posts

Yes that was the only workaround , this is unlike most other forums.

> xtn just for spell check when it is already availanle ? no thanks. anyway I have checked out Grammarly long back - pretty useless IMO.

TY, thought I was the only one with this issue; everyone else were quiet :)
