Forum Update - April 2, 2009

Minor update, but important

Published on April 2, 2009 By GunslingerBara In Forum Issues

The forums have been updated again today with a minor change. If a user edits his/her post, there will now be a "View Edits" button. Clicking this button will show a history of that reply/post, along with highlights (red = removed text, green = added text).

If you do not see the button or clicking the button does nothing, please do a "hard refresh" by holding Ctrl and pressing F5. This will clear your cache and force a download of the new image and javascript file.

Hopefully this will reduce the amount of griefers who go back and edit all of their posts.

I wonder what could possibly have prompted this update!

Great change though, griefers or not it's neat to see edits

I'm seeing a minor problem with very short posts that were edited. The box that pops up isn't long enough, and the "The text in green has been added" or whatever that message says exactly basically runs off the border.

You can see it by opening theleif's edits on the last page of the ban thread thingy: https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/344924/page/7 reply #162 (sorry, was the first one I found )

I see what you mean. I'll edit the CSS and fix that.

You mean I actually have to pay attention to what I type now?

It looks like smileys don't show up in the view edits and are just translated to their text codes (I took MottiKhan's bait )

But that's also a minor thinger.

You mean I actually have to pay attention to what I type now?

Only if you wish to prevent future embarassment, so please don't pay attention!

Farking nice, even old posts hold this, so it's not just from today and on.
