jinp6301 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 Another forum I go to just implemented a edit history type thing where anyone can see if a post was edited and what the post looked like before it was edited, sort of like wikipedia. I'm not completely sure if the forum software here could implement it but it would be pretty cool to have that feature available and increase the edit window a little more
Spiug31 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 I tend to redo posts 3 times or more to get the first post `right` so it may get quite cluttered if my post + revisions were shown at once. As an aid to curiosity though and if it could be done without being intrusive to a threads` flow I`d be unbothered by it

Spiug31 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 Isn't that what the Preview Post button is for? :shrug: yes, but I tend to pick up errors a bit late

Filburt Posted July 24, 2008 Report Posted July 24, 2008 I don't really care for the idea. It just means more clutter and I'm not sure it would serve much purpose other than to create tangential discussion based on the prior edits that may contain irrelevant or inaccurate content to begin with.
grawk Posted July 25, 2008 Report Posted July 25, 2008 I like it where you have a few minutes to edit, and after that, you're stuck.
Dusty Chalk Posted July 25, 2008 Report Posted July 25, 2008 I vote against any sort of edit history. Half of the edits that are done on this site are us moderators deleting someone posting NSFW/NSFA images and whatnot.
aardvark baguette Posted July 25, 2008 Report Posted July 25, 2008 bbbbbbut somtime mt keybvoard gets stuyck.
Dusty Chalk Posted July 25, 2008 Report Posted July 25, 2008 Exactly -- we certainly don't want to read any of that shit. (points at the "Go Advanced" and "Preview Post" buttons)
aardvark baguette Posted July 25, 2008 Report Posted July 25, 2008 who's got time to click "Go Advanced?". I cant be pressing all kinds of buttons and doodads all day. When I wanna post, I wanna post, not review rough drafts.
Dusty Chalk Posted July 25, 2008 Report Posted July 25, 2008 You got time to raise your hands to defend yourself against being slapped upside the head with a stinky ol' trout? You got time to click through an extra page.
JBLoudG20 Posted July 25, 2008 Report Posted July 25, 2008 whatr teh fcufuk. No tmie ot edti psosots.
aardvark baguette Posted July 25, 2008 Report Posted July 25, 2008 Man, you guys have an unlimited supply of smilies
n_maher Posted July 25, 2008 Report Posted July 25, 2008 Man, you guys have an unlimited supply of smilies No we don't.
n_maher Posted July 25, 2008 Report Posted July 25, 2008 I was actually going to suggest that as a name as well.
grawk Posted July 25, 2008 Report Posted July 25, 2008 of course, I cheated, it's titled "Dusty" but it's [/code]
