Yeah, that would be nice too

But it would not be a beast to code, it's not absolute-positioned over the link, it's just opened where the mouse pointer was when you clicked the lil' button, so no per-post code is needed for positioning.

Yeah that's true.  We could also just nick OverLib too

imo, overlib would be better the clickable one that stays..

Could be...

However I like the expand/shrink edits idea more

In a way it would look more integrated to do it that way... it's a bit messy dumping boxes on top of things... see what wdz thinks

I also think it would look awesome like this.


And yeah...And the code isn't "a beast" of a code at all... it's pretty simple .

I think guido's idea would look quite better than what there is now.

i think use that overlib thing with the one that stays when you click on it but in a certain location

It'd be very easy (especially for someone like you) to edit to get it perfect for this.. its a script from D'Drive (http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/thumbnail.htm) me and Guido were playing with it last night..

It's not the HTML/javascript for the popup that's the problem, it's what has to happen "behind the scenes" to make it work. I'm not adding this thing, at least not until more important things are out of the way and I'm looking for a project.

I agree that it's very cool, but I don't care.

As for moving the "last edit" text, go vote at http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=20464.

(also, why do we have to see "IP: Logged" under every post? - if its a mod/admin thing why not make it only viewable to mods/admins? Seems pointless to me )

---

I think it's kind of a privacy thing... just so the user knows that their IP is logged. Might also discourage some abusers, just like the stickers you put in the windows of your house/car to warn about the security system...

Beware! Wild dog checking the IPs!

Why is it so complicated? Add one field more in the posts database, called "edited" or something like that, (which probably already exists) and make it have a list of all the edits like this:

quote:

---

534351354,4
135453435,2
453135435,1526

---

Being the first column the time when the post was edited (in unix format or however mybb stores it) and the second one the user Id.

Then the first line is used when its shrinked, and the rest are shown when expanded. Not that much complications... at least not much more than what it already is.

Blah, you decide anyways
