I can't even highlight it in the editor. It's probably because it isn't actually in the spoiler brackets, but it's displayed like that. Don't know if you understand what I mean... Just experimented. It is hard to ADD something new after the spoilertag, if it was the last in the old comment. Found a (nasty) cut&paste fix: Ctrl-A, Ctrl-X, write something new, and in front of that insert all the old with Ctrl-V. It worked for me. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hook 3,020 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 At this point, it would really be nice to have signatures on our posts. Maybe text only, to keep things from going over the top. But it would be nice to know if the poster has a Pro 1, what they are running on it, carrier, case or other accessories, maybe even key software, just to provide some instant context. Not a big deal and certainly not worth distracting from getting folks their clacks, but nice if it's easy. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I really dislike signiatures. They are almost always spam. I like your idea of knowing if a poster has a pro1, but that could be accomplished with some kind of checkmark field. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Who's going to change a post to spam long after everyone has forgotten it? After the forum change everything is super easy for me compared to the horrible mess of approving each and every comment.... So If they prefer edit limited, fine with me. It is a long discussion of pro's and cons, if not everyone always uses the quote function. If I write something that I later find out has changed (say a bug fixed), it is really nice to be able to go back and strike out my whining about it, not to confuse new readers. But If it is just edited away, following replies/reactions can look far out of context, even if they were originally totaly on topic... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That is why forums with editable topics normally need some form of history. But in my opinion it is useless to not be able to correct or refresh a post. Nobody will read through a hundred sites of stuff to get an overview. They will just open a new thread with a title like "What is a good working app for X". Editing the thread with the app recommendations would allow to have one centralized complete list (as an example). Edited December 30, 2019 by Doktor Oswaldo 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silversolver 849 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 @Doktor Oswaldo I am maintaining a list of network experiences on the clack. Unfortunately, due to limited time editing, I cannot update the top post to make it a list with everything currently known. Fortunately, @EskeRahn is very helpful, and has the power to paste in the updates I send him. It just seems like a clumsy, bothersome way to do it. I'd rather not bother him, but it is what it is. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 1,435 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I think I posted this before. But I've never used another message board/forum where editing had a time limit. Sure, if someone changes something, it may mess up the other messages, but so what? instead of having 5 irrevelevant posts, it'll have 1 relevant post and 4 perhaps confusing outdated posts, but the relevant post shows it was edited on a certain date and the others have a date anyway, and if they wanted to, they coulda quoted the first message to show what they're replying to at the time they replied to it, to avoid people possibly thinking they posted something irrelevant in the past. Just allow unlimited edits. Please.  It allows people to update information. It allows original poster to update the first post on long threads. It allows people to delete stuff they changed their mind about if they change their mind about posting it. Their is pretty much no downside. 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Actually I had some too I could not find, but ended thinking I could not find the proper keywords to find them. But there could be something that was lost in the conversion to the new forum. I doubt they ever got all the missing images and incorrect links straightened out, so there could be other bugs too.

Craig 1,435 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 When someone posts a twitter link and uses the default embedding whatever, it looks messy from my end, and I can't follow the link easily (or at all?), if I click on it it just hides the mess that was there in the first place. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
david 929 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) Regarding the bug a few posts back where things found in the search results can't be found on the linked topic/page.... The problem appears to be when posts have been moved by a moderator to another topic. The search data isn't updated for whatever reason. I'm not sure if some index can be rebuilt for that or if it is a more ingrained bug with the forum software. It doesn't happen with every post moved. It could be that the search lags behind the move and that the instance I found today will be resolved when more time has passed.
