Title: Indicator to inform readers that a post has been amended Post by: biggbox on May 25, 2016, 02:22:50 PM On vBulletin forums, there are options to indicate to readers whether a post has been "Edited", and readers have the option to view the history of that amended post, the post author also has to key in a reason for amendment.
Suggest that Bitcointalk admins implement a similar mechanism. :) Title: Re: Indicator to inform readers that a post has been amended Post by: achow101 on May 25, 2016, 02:56:29 PM Bitcointalk will show you if a post was edited by underlining the time of the post with dashed lines. But it doesn't do show the edit history.

Suggest that Bitcointalk admins implement a similar mechanism. :) As already pointed out by knightdk, the feature is already present. Example : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=211858.msg14967934#msg14967934 Do you notice the dotted underline below Today at 06:16:57 PM? If you hover your mouse over it you will be able to see the time of Last edit. You will only be able to see the time of the last edit made. (IIRC past contents of an edited post and edits made can be viewed by a person with administrative privileges) However if you made the edit before around 5 minutes after making the post, it will not show up. Edit : 10 minutes Title: Re: Indicator to inform readers that a post has been amended Post by: OgNasty on May 25, 2016, 08:05:58 PM Bitcointalk will show you if a post was edited by underlining the time of the post with dashed lines.

Now I may have to actually proofread my posts before I hit the post button instead of editing them all immediately afterward. EDIT: Just showing it works. Umm.... I guess it doesn't work in every section. ??? EDIT2: Lets see those dashes! Grace period confirmed!
