July 18, 200817 yr 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
July 18, 200817 yr 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
July 18, 200817 yr I tend to redo posts 3 times or more to get the first post `right` Isn't that what the Preview Post button is for? :shrug:
July 18, 200817 yr Isn't that what the Preview Post button is for? :shrug: yes, but I tend to pick up errors a bit late

July 24, 200817 yr 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.
July 25, 200817 yr 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.
July 25, 200817 yr Exactly -- we certainly don't want to read any of that shit. (points at the "Go Advanced" and "Preview Post" buttons)
July 25, 200817 yr 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.
July 25, 200817 yr 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.
