Voted no.

I prefer the simplicity of BL's forum over those used on other websites.
Having an edit feature isn't worth the switch to a different application.

  Hmm, I'll have to work with that for a while until I understand it. Thanks

That describes the definition of "extra parts" for purposes of the inventory
pages.
Bricklink has a different definition of "extra parts" for purposes of defining
a complete used set.

  Is the extra part section at the
end of some sets the ones that are used but not necessarily in the original set?

Please see this page for an explanation of sections of a BrickLink inventory:

For me the important thing is to have all the parts I need to build a set.


The extra parts section shows parts included in the box that are not on the "official"
parts list (if there is one). Additionally, any parts that came attached on a
sprue or in standard, bagged "sets" (like small tools and accessories) will
be in the regular section of the inventory even if one or more of the attached
or bagged parts are not needed to build the set.

There is no indication in Bricklink inventories of which parts are needed to
build a set according to the instructions. Sometimes the section of regular items
happens to include just those parts, but it is by coincidence and not by design.
