Edited message notification disabled??

Grojlach · 12-04-2001, 05:24 PM

Just noticed that I didn't get the "edited by Grojlach at..." thingy in my post after I edited it, so it seems to be disabled... Not so sure if that's a good thing, actually.

Been noticing that myself, Grojlach! Don't know if it was intentional on Z's part or if it was part of an upgrade or a glitch!

It's been gone as an addition to the end of posts for a little while, but it was showing up at the bottom of the post rectangle beside number of posts and your location as "last edited". I see that's gone, too.

It was probably a good thing to have for auditing purposes - sad that we have to get ourselves into that type of mindset where our word is not our bond, though.

I turned if off because I was just sick of seeing it

and some posts have like 4 or 5 of them in it.. (Mine too)

I figured people WANTED it off..

Hmm, I thought this newer version of UBB automatically changed the number of "edited by" messages to 1?

Doesn't matter, there are things to say in favour of it and things that aren't. Let's just hope we won't be confronted with any negative consequences, as in troublemakers yelling something and then changing it after a few indignant replies, claiming he never said it. And pretty hard to find out if he edited his message or not. Oh well.

I thought that at first too, Groj, but it's been turned off for a while now and so far I haven't seen any abuse of its absence. And I usually copy offensive messages to Word or take a screenshot as proof anyway.
I'm kind of glad it's gone because now I can hide how often I have to edit my messages

:embarrassed:

Actually, I prefer it to be off since it takes up quite a bit of space and doesn't serve much purpose (at least, in my opinion). After all, only the mods and the originator of the post can edit it so there's no question of others being able to do so. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I edit ALOT! If editing a second time, I would always delete the previous edit message. That way anyone could see it had been edited, but only saw the most recent edit date. I started that after a very long post that I edited 7 times.
