jinp6301 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiug31 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filburt Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share 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 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I like it where you have a few minutes to edit, and after that, you're stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark baguette Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
