Upgrade

Of course, I'm not really sure why you'd want to view your *own* edit history either, but I'm not going to worry about it.

Mafia games could be using this function... you know.

Mafia games could be using this function... you know.

I personally would consider it a little bit intrusive. Although it could be used to find vote editors and rule breakers, it would make the games too easy. Should a Mafioso, for example, realise he's posted something suspicious and then rapidly edit it out, users will be able to backtrack and see the edit henceforth finding him out.

Hello,

That's a new vanilla feature.

There is a similar one hacked in for some time now, but that only worked for the WiKi forum (one of the RTW modding ones).

This vanilla one is global, can be en- or disabled. It is enabled now. Good and bad things. I think only youself, moderators in the forums they moderate and myself are able to see the edit history. ..Just checked, doesn't seem anything can be tweaked about that than just on and off. It may be possible to modify it a bit though, would make some sense for the Mafia forum, as the moderator there should be able to play it too.

It would probably be nice in some cases to update a post and be able to see what was in earlier.

It may be of use in some confusing disputes where one edited or did NOT edit out an insult or an insult that never was there. It might help staff in those cases to make a better and more fair judgement.

I expect though that it will be something that needs to be prunned from time to time, or perhaps disabled: it's not something that's important and/or used very much, while it will likely eat storage and a lot.

For notes you better use paper or local storage, or the personal notepad found in the usercp. There's also another thing called user notes in your userpage. That's actually an older vanilla feature, but this time it seems better worked out. There are some config options for that though and I'm not sure about the current settings: it may be even more public than your edit history atm.

I wasn't able to view people's edits in the Citadel. Maybe a full mod and admin only feature?

[TosaInu]

Yes FactionHeir, I think so.

I'm guessing so, FH, although of course Tosa would know for sure.

Incidentally, I've noticed that the "edited by" message isn't always clickable. I *think* it's related to whether a post was edited before or after the forum upgrade -- thus far, I've not been able to look at the edit history of posts that were edited before the upgrade -- but don't quote me on that.

I can confirm this.

Speaking as a non-mod, I can view the edit history of my own posts made after the upgrade, but not before. Obviously, I can't view anyone else's edit history.

[TosaInu]

The feature wasn't there before the upgrade, it's new.
