Ability to See Previous Edits

[Jake]

Yeah, I've always thought that staff should be able to see edits. Would be a big help when proof/evidence is needed for a post that's been edited.

Out...

I don't think so because it would be so embarrasing to make an error in a post and then not be able to permanently hide it

It's not supported by Sythe.org's vBulletin version, and I remember the admins discussing that it's not worth the risk of upgrading.

Well that's just a pain in the ass.

Only staff should see edits,
not the members please!

I am nearly positive it is built into this version of Vb and would just be a checkbox in the AdminCp.

Can someone confirm/dismiss these?

I've brought this up with Richard, and he said he'd think about it. As of right now, this is still kind of in the air.

6 months later. What's the problem?

It makes sense to do this, it might be a pain but you can't rely on Google cache.

I mean.. when have you ever really needed to check someone's edit history as staff? I was on for almost 2 years and I don't think I ever once needed that for a scam report etc.

Let people have some privacy, it's kind of pointless.

It can be useful. I remember having this option on the old Dragon Dyce forums which were vB as well.

Nick confirmed that we are running an old enough version of 3 that it is not a thing.

 

I think staff only should be able to see edits. The whole point of an edit is to remove what you written so nobody else can see what was written which defeats the object of an edit

There is a long term plan to do this, among some other improvements, but it's waiting on Richard to finish up his degree and have a little more free time.

I'm going to go ahead and close this and mark it as Approved, but pending.
