Something about those edit lines...

As of now, the edit lines read like this: [This message has been edited by Ron (edited December 9, 2008 6:19:24 AM)]Problem is that every time a post is edited it places a new line on the bottom of it... is there any chance that it could be changed to this: [This message was last edited by Ron (edited December 9, 2008 6:19:24 AM)]Insert the "last edited" part so that only one edit date needs to be seen on the bottom of the page. Maybe? Just a thought.  -=Wraith Squad=-TRP/LC Ron-Goron/3SQD/1PLT/1COMP/1BAT/Tadath/VEA |

I made a post about this a while ago. We used to only have the one edit line, which to me was highly preferable. Especially since the spec boards are now littered with hundreds upon hundreds of edit lines. || Platoon Commander || StormPlatoon ||PC/2LT Kami Sharpe/2PLT/1COM/1RGT/1BAT/VEA/Tadath [LoR][CoR][IG][GCA][BC][BM][CDS][EW][ES][GRP][GS]------------------------ || Dark Jedi Knight || Krath Order ||

I understand the need for all the lines, especially if the reason for the edit was displayed with the "This post was edited... " lines. I think the reasoning for the multiple edits is that sometimes the mods edit someone else's post, and if the original writer of the post goes back over and edits again, public record of mods editing the post is lost. Thus, I agree partially with Ron although it could easily and more efficiently be: "This post was edited (number) times by (Callsign), last edited on (date and time)." If two members edited the post then they would both be listed with that line, or as many lines as members whom edited the posts. For example: - OOC:
- This post was edited 2 times by Trooper, last edited on (date and time).
This post was edited 1 time by Mod, last edited on (date and time).

How about a post was "last edited by ..."
and if clicked upon would dropdown a list of who edited it and when? Heavy Weapons Specialist

It would be great to see either Doc or Rogueboy's idea implemented as it does get messy the more times you edit.

Doc's idea is preferable in my opinion, simply because it's a far easier thing to implement. Including what is little more than a counter would be simple, as opposed to Rogues idea, that would indeed be nice, but take a far longer time to implement. =================Army=================== Sergeant First Class Kanderin Draken Wraith Squad Leader ~ W i l d c a r d P l a t o o n ~ Wraith Squad Motto: When staring in the face of death we see our reflection SL/SFC Kanderin/3SQD/1PLT/1COM/1BAT/1RGT/VEA/VE [LoS] [IH][GRP] =============Special Operations================ ~Phantom~Phantom Lead Xephilus Sekine/Alpha Squad/Alpha Team - 1/VE |

Kad's a busy man and currently the only one who can implement stuffs like this. So be patients... He has several other code projects going on that most of you are unawares of and won't be until they are released  Anywho, I'm sure this would make the Moffy-do-list (if it hasn't already) as an "nice to have feature, but not that important and thus not very high up" |

BUMP.
I proof read my work multiple times before posting it up on the boards but I always seem to miss a few things after posting. This means I usually have to edit multiple times, and the edit lines that subsequently build up at the bottom of my posts look incredibly messy and unprofessional.
I'm also going to throw a vote forward to remove the reason for edit as well. It is an annoying feature to deal with every edit, and one that I don't really think is a necessity since moderators rarely need to edit posts (they are more prone to delete the entire thing in my experience.) || Retired ||[LoR][CoR][IG][GCA][BC][BM][CDS][EW][ES][GRP][GS]------------------------ || Krath Scholar || Krath Order ||

I agree with all that. Even when Mods do edit posts, they often explain why in a discussion thread anyway. Riq's idea would be great.

Could we get rid of the requirement to enter the "Reason for Edit" before posting too.
This isn't displayed and no one is auditing/monitoring this function, so why have it?
