Licho 14 years ago What should be the rules for post editing? What forum feature is needed? +0 / -0
Pxtl 14 years ago Just mark the post edited... If you want to be really fancy, add a hidden div with the original, although that would create some storage overhead. +0 / -0
Licho 14 years ago Any other forum feature thats needed? +0 / -0
GoogleFrog 14 years ago To prevent edit confusion you could limit edits to posts made under an hour and that are the last in their thread. +0 / -0
MrPingu 14 years ago (edited 14 years ago) I say no limits whatsoever on editing, just like on most forum. Maybe have it display a message that says "This post was last edited on Date". Other forum feature we need would be quote, and we're set. EDIT: OMG I EDIT +0 / -0
Saktoth 14 years ago Moderators and poster can edit a post. No limits on editing. Add a 'Edited # hours ago' message under the '# hours ago' message, next to the icon (there is plenty of room). Thus: +0 / -0
Skasi 14 years ago Exactly what Saktoth said just without the moderators stuff. Mods should NOT be ably to edit users posts, that's just a silly trolly idea. +0 / -0
Saktoth 14 years ago I delete posts instead of editing them. Like Neonstorms. All the time. It would be good to have a 'split topics' or 'move posts' option too, so you can split threads when they stray off topic. That isn't all that mandatory though. +0 / -0
Licho 14 years ago Editing implemented - that should be enough for now - and i will continue on PW. +0 / -0
luckywaldo7 14 years ago (edited 14 years ago) Nice! +0 / -0
Saktoth 14 years ago The reason i put the edit button under the '# hours ago' is to not increase the minimum height of a message. It is a small thing, and other than that, great work (with a diff too!). Increasing height by 3+ lines is not ideal. +0 / -0
Licho 14 years ago Ell i cant stick there who edited it .. otherwise i could move it there. +0 / -0
Zag 14 years ago Use pages in threads, and maybe custom avatars if you have time. +0 / -0
Zag 14 years ago (edited 14 years ago) On edit, when I try to edit my post it says I don't have permission. I don't know if you are finished with it yet. Edit: Fixed +0 / -0
MrPingu 14 years ago When I try to edit I get: Not authorized to edit the post +0 / -0
Licho 14 years ago fixed +0 / -0
Licho 14 years ago Btw threads have pages but it seemed more annoying than simple scroll .. so i set page size to 1000 :) +0 / -0
Zag 14 years ago Maybe, but it is harder to find a particular post, or reach the end of a really long thread with the scrolling. Not a big issue. By the way, it appears that the handy post order flipping while posting has either been removed or broken. +0 / -0
corgator 14 years ago Can we disallow double posts now? There is no reson for that if you can edit your last post. ( Auto-merge could do the same thing too. ) Would it be a good idea to add an [+], [-] button to collapse big posts? Or an [hr]-bb tag to split your post into a preview and full post? ( If it is not too much of work ). +0 / -0
