July 18, 200818 yr comment_140970 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 Report
July 18, 200818 yr comment_141227 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 Report

July 18, 200818 yr comment_141238 Isn't that what the Preview Post button is for? :shrug: yes, but I tend to pick up errors a bit late Report

July 24, 200818 yr comment_143346 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. Report
July 25, 200818 yr comment_143352 I like it where you have a few minutes to edit, and after that, you're stuck. Report
July 25, 200818 yr comment_143363 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. Report
July 25, 200818 yr comment_143373 Exactly -- we certainly don't want to read any of that shit. (points at the "Go Advanced" and "Preview Post" buttons) Report
July 25, 200818 yr comment_143374 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. Report
July 25, 200818 yr comment_143377 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. Report
