The Edited Banner

[Zed Head]

The big EDITED banner at the bottom of an edited post bothers me so much that I now leave all of my small mistakes in the post.  Is this wrong?  

 

Can't even edit within seconds, without the banner.

I'm OK with the Edited banner, but if it starts leaving a Grade, I'll be unhappy.

My tool bars for editing never worked. They are greyed out.

Attached images also get resized smaller and lower resolution. Often this kills technical drawings purpose.

Who complained about people editing post hours later without it showing that it had been edited? Mike responded with that banner.

[Zed Head]

That was me.  I knew somebody would get me.  I was being ironical, I think.

 

Just a small item on the list for the next web site revision.

Well if we're soliciting suggestions, I'd make it such that if you edited your post very quickly after you first created it (say 30 seconds or a minute) then no note that the post had been edited would show up. But if the post is edited after that time period expired, then the notice that the editing took place would be added.

 

I think that's how a lot of other forums operate. Gives you a short time to fix the bonehead spelling mistake "without penalty".

 

Edited ten seconds after posting to fix a bonehead speling mistake.

Mike did address this before.  Apparently the forum software doesn't have that option.  You either get no edit notification at all, or one for any edit, any time.

 

I'm spoiled by other forums and have developed the habit of posting then immediately fixing my errors before anyone sees them.  We even have a WYSIWYG box on the More Reply Options page here on classiczcars.com.  Lazy on my part, just excusing my own errors.

[Captain Obvious]

Oh. Bummer. Surprising that it's an all or nothing.

 

I'm spoiled in the same way you arr.

[siteunseen]

 WYSIWYG?  Never seen that before.

 

What You See Is What You Get, had to google that.  Learned something new today, after editing.

That all started when Lotus came out with 123r3 (release 3 with WYSIWYG) for DOS. Along with wp5.1 and borland dbase IV.

Yer, back in the good ol days before Microsoft killed them all with Excel, Word and Access.

Blue, you have the advanced code option turned on.  It's the small box in the upper left of that screenshot.  Click on it and your WYSIWYG will come back.  I'll check on the resolution thing, how big of a graphic do you want to include?  The small resize should be clickable to a certain size, but I have to specify the resize options.  They are currently set to create a 300x300 thumbnail on any image up to 1200x1600.  If you click on the thumbnail it should open the large image (up to 1200x1600).

The edited by banner is on or off, there is no grace period.  When you guys type a message doesn't the spell check show up when you are typing?   On my system it underlines bad spelling with a red squiggly line.  See below.  I figured if this was working you would be less likely to need the edit button.

 

 

Anyway, I can make the "edited by" less annoying colors, let me see what I can do.

 

BTW, supporting members have the option to show or not show the edited line.  

[Captain Obvious]

Mike, Haha! No the spell check squiggly works just fine for me too.

 

Apparently that's not enough to stop me though. I was never very bright...

 

And thanks for checking! (had to edit that in)
