HyperLamer <||bass> and this was the soloution i thought of that was guarinteed to piss off the greatest amount of people Sesshomaru Tamaranian Level: 118 Posts: 5489/8210 EXP: 18171887 For next: 211027 Since: 03-15-04 From: Canada, w00t! LOL FAD Since last post: 2 hours Last activity: 2 hours |

I was thinking it would be good if a thread was marked as having new posts if someone edited their post. For example I just edited one in the bug thread (since I had the last reply already  ), but without actually reading it every time there's no way to tell. |

| That would mean that if someone decided to edit their thread they could 'bump' it without actually bumping it. Good idea in theory, bad idea when implemented. |

| Don't like that too. Due to maybe heavier edits in large threads (6+ pages) it might be just a waste of clicks - or if people have volume rates for their internet - bandwith. Now you could say "But you can always the last poster's entry and date!" - but if I'm in a hurry for example, I click on an interesting "NEW!" anyway and don't pay attention if there is another last poster or not |

| I think it would be a good idea if you have the last post in the thread, and the edit is done within like a week of the original reply. (edited by King_Killa on 07-03-05 10:53 AM) |

| It sounds like a good idea at first, but the thread bumping that it would cause would create a problem...and if the post that was edited wasn't the most recent post in the thread, it would cause a distraction. "What? This thread doesn't really have a new post? Oh, I see, so-and-so edited a spelling mistake out of the third post..." | |||

| I had this same idea a long time ago until I thought it over, and realized how annoying it could get. Maybe just having this for stickied threads would be nice, but I just honestly think such a feature would get annoying. |

Originally posted by XkeeperNo, I don't think he means it's bumped up. I think he means the little "NEW" picture reappears. Which seems like a good idea, for those of us that use Mark Forum Read. Which I don't, but it still seems good... |

Guess I jumped the gun on this thread ... "That" actually doesn't seem like a bad idea, or maybe we could even make a new image that would show "Edit" or something? (where the "New" image is shown) ... Eh? I guess.  But yeah, that's not a bad idea now that I know what it is. (edited by Xeomega on 07-03-05 07:23 PM) |

| Bleh, it would be a better idea if people was able to double-post instead after a few days or something. And edit can be hard to spot sometimes. (and I think that all staff should be able to double post. :/) Thought I have been in the same situation myself in the past, and I even had to ask other friends to bump the thread (in a non-spammy friends) a few times. That's not necessery either but... :/ |

Hm, well a little "new" flag would be great... particularly when you have the last post but you have to add new information to a thread..... cause an edit doesn't guarantee that anybody will even check the thread.  PS, everybody please check my stupid question in the HW/SW problem and fix my compy  It's teh sad.  |

Originally posted by Tarale The only temporary workaround might be to copy the post's content into clipboard, delete that post and then reenter a new post - pasted in the copied content, along with your edits here. The board will give the post a new postid number - and the forum will have a "NEW" post. (edited by Surlent on 07-04-05 12:54 PM) |

| It's allowed here, I've seen it done a few times, and it was reasonable. I remember one time I deleted the final post in this homework thread, and planned to ask a question, but while typing the question I answered it for myself. I couldn't repost it without a pretty much mindless bump. It wasn't a big deal or anything, but it's just an example of how deleting and reposting can be inconvenient. But I don't know of a better idea. |

Originally posted by Yoshi Dude Subtitles might be an idea - like in an Ikonboard or vBB - especially when having ROM-hacking questions it is better to have a short description in line two - and stickied thread might be like "FAQ" - subtitle: "Last update: 03/06/2006" So you likely won't miss updates. |

Originally posted by SurlentBut it really isn't common that people make important edits. If every thread had a last update: blah, it'd really looked cluttered and ugly, and in most cases be identical to the "Last post" date. |
