Why we can’t edit our comments if someone replayed after us??
Emil__BG said on December 27, 2006 21:47:
Here!
and everywhere!
After you replay, when i load this page i can’t see “edit” button in the area of my first message!

I seem to be able to edit recent posts, but not anything thats a few weeks (days?) old.

You can only edit the original post if nobody has replied. That’s the way it’s done in Drupal. I’m not sure if it’s a good thing or not.

Thanks for the answer.
For me(!) this is a bad thing, because I am never satisfied with what I wrote. All the time I find typos and other things that could have been written in a better way! *sigh*
Another issue: sometimes you don’t need a new post, when an EDIT would be enough to clarify things. :-)
Emil__BG said on December 28, 2006 16:10:
It’s a bad thing.
No doubt.
And it was good thing to be warn about it before first comment in new system!
How can be that pointless “reply” button on EVERY comment, but not the “edit” button??
Or there are some sense in these bottons?
Still noone tells us about advantages
of Drupal.
Say some words!!!
We see only disadvantages .Even for the admins.

Honestly, if visiting TDR causes you so much trouble and distress and whatever in your life, you might want to consider not visiting it anymore. You do have that option.
Let me also remind you this is a free (for everybody else but Visa) hobby website and we do it because we want to. Also how we want to. Take this as you want, it has always been like that and it won’t change unless we decide to offer an IPO ;)

Answers like “you might want to consider not visiting it anymore” are let say–irrelevant.
I didn’t talk about your personal lifes so you can try to be at least polite .
I think that you had a very beautiful yellow and orange hobby before and as most of the people here still can’t understand why you changed it.
Yes i say–as most ,or better say like all members and visitors of this site.
Cos i never would say anything if that’s only my problem.
Forum just doesn’t work correct.
And as we see

some of moderators didn’t know it.
So what’s wrong with poiting it??
If there was solution ??
Why you made such forum
“TDR Discussions: “
if we can’t say what’s wrong???
There were few changes here and I never complaint about anything ,more than 6 years. Sorry i didn’t want to insult you or to be ungrateful for the work that all you did and keep doing ,just ponting some problems.
Jud (moderator) said on December 29, 2006 06:05:
You get answers according to your posts. I don’t think your posts (demands?) were polite or not childish, but lets leave it like that. We have no problems with people telling what they think and we have added/changed many things after their feedback since the new site was launched, but there are comments and comments.
The forum is working fine, the fact that one cannot edit his post once it has been answered to is not an error as you assume, it’s a setting in the forum.
Many forums don’t allow that you edit your posts (ANY post) after 15-20 minutes of posting - I also think it makes sense because if there’s an answer, the answer is to the post as it was. We had more than one case of people editing their posts to “-” after having 10 answers below it and nobody knew what was going on anymore.
Now there’s the option to preview your comment, so you have the option to re-think it as many times as you want before you hit the “post” button.

But sometimes as we say in our country “morning is more wise than evening” ;-)
Ok.I”ll think many times before i post and would sent info about some other problems on your e-mail.
Sascha said on December 29, 2006 08:39:
Editing was very useful for collecting information in single posts – for example contact & voting adresses, chart info – to keep the text bundled and clear. Consider that TDR updates news articles as well, even if there are already loads of comments based on the earlier version.
A function that I’d find very useful is a setting to view the latest page of threads by default (what many forums have), since the “xx new posts” button has no functionality at all for me.
Keep the updates coming! :-)
ncurran said on December 29, 2006 09:27:
I actually quite like the fact that you cant edit a post after someone has replied. It means that people cant go back on what they have said, which quite often happens (not necessarily on this forum) after someone proves them wrong. It means people will have to be more careful about what they post and not flame people unnecessarily and then retract it later.
Emil__BG said on January 3, 2007 21:05:
I use many forums and “edit” post is available everywhere.
It’s was available in old TDR ,it IS available in SOAP forums.
Forums in which YOU were or are mods.
Forums with almost the same members.
So i still think my question was proper and not childish.
And as we saw , all people here needed explanation how it is “set in the forum” or “the way it’s done in Drupal”.
And most of the members said it’s a bad thing.
It’s bad cos TDR is a multilanguage forum ,and cos sometimes you don’t have a time to check it before replay.
But lets leave this issue.
Someone may point me the door again but a dare to point another thing.
2.Sometimes there is a last page ,but there no comments on it!

I don’t see the “And most of the members said it’s a bad thing.”

I hold it with @ncurran. There are people who abuse the edit button and make a reasonable discussion impossible. Though for correcting typos etc. maybe there should be a way of allow editing for like 10 minutes after posting. Personally, I tend to see my own typos first on the board.
LittleSpooky said on January 8, 2007 03:12:
Hit the post before I actually said anything.
I can understand why there isn’t an edit button, too many people went back and deleted their comments out of an entire thread after they felt “insulted”. Too much childish behaviour there. I’ve had my fair share of tiffs here, nothing new. But I’d rather have the edit button to go back and maybe add something to correct something I screwed up on. Especially if I missed “information” that should have been in the original post.
This is just me.

I waited 2 weeks Judit..but no answer,
2.Sometimes there is a last page ,but there no comments on it!
3.Why picture of Per and Marie is over the topics?
4.When i replay -the picture of Per and Marie is over the post to which i replay.
5. Sascha
“A function that I’d find very useful is a setting to view the latest page of threads by default (what many forums have), since the “xx new posts” button has no functionality at all for me.”
6.After we hit “post comment” we were send to first page,not to the last one..
You may say that this isn’t “wrong” and “I also think it makes sense ” but as with “edit function” ,it wasn’t that way in the old TDR and it isn’t that way in the forums in which you are moderator..
So i guess we have the right for explanation or at least “we trying” answer...
Lets make TDR “the greatest place on the WWW” again!

I didn’t know you were waiting for an answer from me.. ?

I think that it would make sense if there was an edit function.
Because if you accidently wrote something wrong,you could correct it or change it!
Jud (moderator) said on January 17, 2007 06:45:
this is what the “Preview comment” button is for :)

=========
(btw–7.if i hit Reply botton in your message ,can your message automatic be quotet in my reply? Now nobody can see that i replay to you and ther no sense in this button)
With all respect ,but having in mind all lack of functions of reply field , the ““Preview comment” button ” is quite senseless.
If you “if you accidently wrote something wrong” you can see it without “Preview comment” button.
In other modern forums which easy allowed to put pictures,url,smiles and so on ijn your replys, Preview button give us a totaly different picture.
===============
I didn’t know you were waiting for an answer from me.. ?
==========
Now you know,but it seem that you don’t care..
Others members ask about some strange things in forum too,but noobody want to answered or don’t know the answers about “how and why” the “new forum” works.
Emil__BG said on January 31, 2007 11:14:
and the offtopics is also very slow..
Maybe people didn’t want to write something personal ,cos they can’t edit later... ;-((

that’s the example about page without comments
Emil__BG said on February 6, 2007 00:17:
it’s getting even stranger ==
if you edit your post — even one ” or ,== the whole message go in the end of the topic instead of just mark it as “edit on “
for example the message
