Zoo Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) I'm pissing around on a Liverpool forum at the moment which uses the same software as ours. If you want to edit a post on there there is an option to turn of the 'Edited by' line under your new post. I like that feature - can we have it?

What has an edited signature got to do with Bill's uploads thread from 2011 ffs? If Louis wants to remove the edited by sig, he can find a similar code to this and remove it. On my own site, it would be Structure > Layout Templates > Thread > Post List. {if $[post.edited]} <div class="edited_by"><span class="italic">Last Edit:</span> $[post.edited.date] by $[post.edited.by_user]{if $[post.edited.reason]}: $[post.edited.reason]{/if}</div> {/if} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) Also think it would be a good idea to be able to delete our own posts.

MikeO Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 If people reply to a post or posts that has been removed or invisibly edited it can turn the thread into nonsense. Also if two people fall out, if one of them goes back and changes/deletes what they said the whole thing can be manipulated. If someone makes a mistake/double post or whatever all they have to do is put a note on it asking for it to be deleted and it will be.

Avinalaff Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 For me, the best option is to have a longer period in which to edit or rectify posts before the sig kicks in. Auto signatures look untidy. I often notice a spelling mistake but then have to put up with an edited signature, which to me, makes it look like I wrote something then changed my mind. I turned them off on my own forum, as can't stand them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Posted April 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 I'm in favour of a timer to be honest, I think you should be given 30 seconds or so to edit your post so that you can correct any spelling mistakes that you may have made. 'Editing' to me shows a change of heart, or adding something that you had forgotten about. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be against that at all....it's in use on the forum I use second most often after this; but that uses different software and as far as I can see the facility isn't available here.

MikeO Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Hope this helps Mike http://community.invisionpower.com/topic/372064-editted-time-grace-period/?hl=edited Doesn't appear to offer what we're talking about as far as I can see Avin (unless you pay for it).....just a time limit on any sort of edit. If anyone wants it badly enough to donate $10 then have a word with Louis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Posted April 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 I don't think it's something I would pay for, it was just a suggestion to see if it could be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
