There's been frequent debate as to when and if people have edited posts (be it the mods or a user in question)...and I just thought it would be an idea to have something to the effect of

"<>"

as a footnote at the bottom of the post shoudls oemone edit any given post.
I've mentioned this before and mr web guy, sir, said to put something about it in here...

yeah, i could use it against people, please put it in.

But I use it just to fix up the spelling mistakes in my posts :cry:

Yeah, but all it's doing is noting if the post ahs been edited and when it was edited, so if you edit it after someone makes a comment about said post, it's blatantly obvious you're being a wanker trying to dig yourself out of your own hole.

The end of xTwat hopefully. :lol:

Nah, I think you are the main culprit here.

I changed that whole topic because it was shit, you should be bowing down to me for ending your pain.

Ironically, all three of you are the main culprits here.

BS, marty edits the most.

you, him and xArgon are all pretty close in that race really.

Forgot xTwat, hes on top.

Yeah, but when I edit I add, I dont change.

*waits for red card*

I make minor adjustments to fix up spelling and syntax, how does that compare to changing an entire thread topic?

Bahahahahahaha. Sure you don't. you're always changing something. If we dont' quote you you change it quicksmart.

You've removed entire stupid remarks in the past too. And I'm not comparing the two, but it's all really annoying.
Atleast when mk changed the thread topic it meant we weren't having another shitty lose thread floating around making its way to the bottom of the list.

Whatever :roll:

"...girlfriend, don't go there" - could you have been anymore TB there??

SOrry, Ill just double and triple post from now on shall I?

Only if you're not wearing pants and the Curvacious Lemur in the cupboard eating pickles says you can.

So where did all of these ideas come from that I edit my posts? I've edited no more than 5 in total, and it was to fix the quotations, or add something to the end, but I always put "Edit" in bold when I change something. Epic fail.

You better make it 6, if you dont reference Guest on that quote, he might threaten to share his knowledge of Copyright laws.

I apologize for not referencing in my previous post.

Really?? Coz I thought I said that first on here...

Afro def said it first. I dont know why youre all trying to rob it from him???

How would you know? The phrase was being thrown around way before my time, let alone yours... unless you just spent 8 hours of your life trawling through the archives :shock:

That is from Afro on schoolies.

maybe i did maybe i didnt.8-[ :d :)

I hope you were joining me in taking the piss.

he hath no life:lol: jks jks

Epic Fail, along with Userbars has been around for years. You guys were all probably in primary school when they were created. :twisted:

So were you probably.

ON-TOPIC: Theyre not going to rewrite the forum codes just for you.

This is a place for suggestions.

Nothing that gets said here is 100%, although personally, I like afro's suggestion, and it's relatively simple to do.

Would giving us the ability to change usernames be simple?

For the millionth time mk, NO!

You've already asked every mod privately for this, and now you do it publicly. Get over it, it's not going to happen!

IM just wondering why, whats the difficulty level? just say and ill stop, its a suggestion like you asked for when you made the sub forum.

I've no idea what the difficulty level is - that's for the smart people to work out.

My reason for a categoric no is the mischief that could be caused. People pretending to be other people, people changing their names to offensive names, constantly changing their names, changing to personal attack names, changing to urls...the list goes on.

It opens a can of worms for no good reason. You want a new name, simply start a new account. Simple.

And that ends the debate.

Ill start a new account if i can take my posts with me. :lol:

From afro's original suggestion...



This has now been done and is now working.

Good job web guy.

Out of curiosity, is the 'edited' timestamp the time when you click 'edit' or when you click 'submit'?

](*,)

It's when you click "submit".

Yeah, they do it on the Sports Interactive forums and they're all pretty philistinic over there so I figured it couldn't be that hard.

:lol:even the bots don't like mk:P

Fuc-king sweeeeeet. That should put an end to a few stupid arguments on here then. Hooray.

What difference does that make?
