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 will just find a way to make the editings funny as heck to peruse

That reminds me of the intro to Hot Shots 2, which had text being typed on screen and went something like this:

plot to assassss...

(backspace)

assis...

(backspace)

plot to kill a guy.

Do have an issue with posts that I know have been modified. These are forums that have mods on them so they are constantlyl being updated. I cant get in them.

I open the forum, see the initial few words, start to scroll down and then get and error message.

Have tried CTRL + F5

Oi Snark...you had TOO much fun with that.

Why do I foresee someone typing out a post, 1 symbol at a time and editing it...or even creating a pattern to scroll down through?

~rubs temples~

Perhaps this wasn't a good idea afterall lol.

So long chaotic conversations, my brain & its fuzzzzyyyy puzzzzzling mindset of late thanks you (without typos! To lower the amount of data this site has to keep track of, and to NOT see a viewedits button underneath this post, etc)

I am using the lastest IE, version 8?

on Apr 02, 2009

Biggest connection I see is most of the forums that are failing to load is that they are usually ones that have a lot of editing done to them. Also there is a long load time incurred (usually 3 to 10 sec).

Zubaz is going to end up spending more time editing than posting!

 

ahh can't see it please change the color

on Apr 02, 2009

oh noes.  I'll be caught  (I edit my posts like a fiend.  Correcting typos and adding new ideas because I don't like double posting if I was the last person to post)

This forum is real bad.

Have noticed that other people could access it.

Yeah . . that one won't load all the way due to a FF bug for me.  In IE it loaded but was a bear.

Interesting . . .

It's the best thing since sliced bread.

At least one person has been permanently removed from Stardock's sites due initially to inappropriate forum edits.

Correcting typos is one thing.....revising the actual content to make respondents look 'silly' is entirely another....

The loss of the 'time-limited' edit function was "unfortunate" to say the least.  This is a welcome improvement, arguably superior to the old 'time-limit'...

 

And ZubaZ really si a good bloke.
