Dashel Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) It isn't working that way currently (no untick prior to the 5min mark). That should be the poster's choice as long as they can edit. Can we also make the whitespace below the post not be a link? (Between the Go to Topic and Next Unread) Its too easy to miss click off the page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkMan Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 22 hours ago, LimeMaster said: Instead of putting in all that effort, it should just be removed altogether. Why ? why do you have a need to not have "edited by" on your posts if you edit after 5 minutes ? ok remove the edited by, but then also remove the ability to edit after 5 minutes.

HawkMan Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 22 hours ago, LimeMaster said: I'll copy your format for this post. Two things: 1) Sometimes things are not meant to be. 2) Members don't need to see this information. They only need to see the post. They do not need to know how many times its been altered. Why shouldn't it be seen by members when another poster goes back to edit his posts after saying something to say something completely different. especially after other people replies.

That was how it worked before people complained, before 5 minutes you could untick to not show edited by, then a certain someone complained and didn't want the tickbox, so now it shows edited by from 1st second. careful what you wish for and all that.

Thomas the Tank Engine Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) Has anyone mentioned that view counts on newly posted topics isn't working?* I don't feel like reading through 4 pages just to find out. * I don't know if it's still working on old topics as well.

Because most of the time, the edits are just minor fixes and not a complete edits. If a person does however feel the need to completely rewrite their posts, they usual make it clear that it has been completely altered. The "Edited by" line looks ugly as well, which doesn't help. Also, though I've already mentioned this, nobody needs to know that a post has been edited. It certainly shouldn't be something you think or care about. Just accept the contents of the post. Staff can deal with posts with bad edits, and take action if needed. Us members don't need to see them.

francescob Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 If in a News page I choose to send a reply to a comment but then don't send it and start a new comment instead when I submit it sends the reply rather than the new comment.

Steven P. Administrators Posted December 20, 2015 Author Administrators Share Posted December 20, 2015 Grace period of 5 mins added back, after that the edit line will show (like before on IPB3).

Happens on Reddit far more frequently than you would imagine. Staff could see this without the Edit line being seen by members. I remember the checkbox text specifically mentions this. Plus, let's be honest, Neowin has restricted editing time whereas Reddit does not. There's barely any time for anyone here to even do that.

Screenshot taken on my Nexus 6, running Marshmallow, using Chrome. You know what? I tried posting a topic in the official IPS forums yesterday and the editor would not load for me in Edge or Chrome. I had no extensions enabled, no ad-blocking or anything. I really wonder wtf it is causing it?? I'll give it a look on my Windows Phone 8.1 in a sec to see if it happens there too, but I will need to call a dev in on this since I won;t be able to fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally give up and try Safari, or just close the browser and give up. Restarting the browser doesn't seem to fix it when it gets stuck that way. I am referring to Mobile btw.
