Author Topic: Change in editing policy? Greg Mueller Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1687 From: Port Gamble, WA Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-10-2003 09:34 PM                        I see now that when you edit a message it shows that the message has been edited. I thought it was policy to not have those messages. When did that change  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-10-2003 09:38 PM                     You have an hour to correct bad grammer and mispellings and such. After that it stamps the time/date of an edit.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 01-11-2003 12:22 AM                       Brad, look at my post on the Film Handler's Forum... Drive-In Ramp Height. It was stamped 'edited' after just seven minutes. Are there likewise a limited number of changes you can make before it gets stamped? I often reword passages several times for clarity and brevity.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-11-2003 12:34 AM                     It shouldn't have done that Tim. You should be able to edit it an unlimited times that first hour without any sort of stamp. Like all modifications, give it time to work out the bugs.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

You'd think they'd get it right the first time. And once again, I can't reproduce the error. Figures. So many variables, so little memory. Maybe I'll get off my wallet someday and buy a debugger.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 01-11-2003 05:51 AM                        I know of some forums that let you edit as many times as you want without the tag at the bottom UNTIL someone replies. Anytime you edit after that it tags the post as edited. Maybe the 7-minute case decribed above was something similar?  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-11-2003 02:07 PM                     Joe, I've seen what you are talking about with phpBB forums. I don't know if UBB can do it. It would be nice though.  |  IP: Logged
