I’m really livid about this. There are a variety of reasons for deletion, but if I can’t trust it to stay that way then I regret my past, and will curtail my future participation.
I have no control over this. I’m just a user like everyone else. This functionality does work on mobile. I haven’t played much with the pc version of the site, but maybe you don’t have cookies enabled?
Discourse has an admin option - “edit history visible to public” or something like that. So they can easily turn that off. Although that history is still saved / available to admins.
To be honest I hate it. Visually it looks more messy, feel like there is info missing that used to be helpful or at least easier to find and pick out. As at lease one other person said, I will def be using it less now.
I agree. I don’t mind doing some clicking around to figure stuff out (figured out how to change background colors on my own) but I’d prefer not to do that too often. My current issue is that new “replies” column on the right hand side of the screen. That wasn’t on my screen earlier this morning but now it is. It is scrunching up the thread titles which is annoying. Would like to be able to remove that section from my screen. Worst case, just make the replying ONLY from the forum I’m currently reading ie. if I’m on the tri forum than only tri “replies” be over there. I don’t need LR stuff
I hope they don’t turn that feature off. I think if you post on a public forum, you should consider that public information. It would make people really think before they post sometimes.
Agreed, that new column is a pain and is showing me posts from different categories, even when I’m on the triathlon category. @rrheisler can you take that feature back out, it’s a big thumbs down from me
I get what you are saying to an extent but I think people should stand behind what they post. If you don’t, should you have posted in the first place? I think we should all give more thought into what we post and how we use our words. I have drafted a ton of posts on here that I ended up never hitting the reply/post button as I realized my post wasn’t adding any value to the discussion.
You don’t get a redo when talking to someone or a group in person. Should a forum be any different?
That said, I doubt the masses will know the features enough to click on that icon to see the edited post.
I think we should care more when people quote a user but change their words for the good old “FIFY” bullshit.
We should not be ok with peoples words being fabricated on a public forum. I’m ok with someone fixing their own words. If someone wants to quote it for posterity then that’s the price you pay for being on a public forum.
But we shouldn’t have to tolerate our own words being changed and made to look like it was our own.
I disagree. I’m a fan of the GDPR and CCPA “right to be forgotten” principles. Particularly as it relates to minors. Or as related to people who become subject to internet abuse or harrassment.
