"edited" location by WDZ on 01-13-2004 at 10:30 PM

In this thread, people suggested placing the "this post was edited by..." message in another location, and I suppose having it under the "IP Logged" text would look OK, so let's decide with a poll! :p


RE: "edited" location by lizard.boy on 01-13-2004 at 11:10 PM

oh i cant deciede so i put under ip adress


RE: "edited" location by Wabz on 01-13-2004 at 11:15 PM

WDZ how you know this thread was that link without editing your post ?>


RE: "edited" location by Chrono on 01-13-2004 at 11:24 PM

he can edit posts without leaving an "edited by.." message..

as for the message, "keep it where it is now" !! :P


RE: "edited" location by lylesback2 on 01-13-2004 at 11:27 PM

it should go under IP Address... thats a good spot for it :D

it's true.. it is annoying under this... \/

I don't think he needs to show "post edited by" if he doesn't want to :dodgy:

* Guido votes under IP

RE: "edited" location by dom. on 01-13-2004 at 11:44 PM

Definatly Under IP :P


RE: "edited" location by sock on 01-14-2004 at 02:08 AM

Blah, the IP thingie already wastes some space with no reason... I mean, most users don't care about it. :-/ How about having it alongside the IP thing? Perhaps align it to the left? :-/

Though on the other hand, if someone has a long signature it would look kinda weird all the way over there. :-/ So its current position does make some sense.... :-/ Although people can fake it.... :dodgy: Blah, I dunno.

* sock abstains from voting. :refuck:

thats what i was thinking....
RE: "edited" location by CookieRevised on 01-14-2004 at 02:22 AM

No, certainly not... that will look even weirder I guess....

If it is going to be added under the IP, then the extra linebreak (which is there right now) should be removed IMO. In this way, it wont take extra space, infact, it will gain an extra space....


RE: "edited" location by Guido on 01-14-2004 at 02:28 AM

If we put it under the IP, it's precisely to avoid having it left aligned, therefore confusing itself with the post and sig. So, aligning the IP to the left: no way.


RE: "edited" location by sock on 01-14-2004 at 03:20 AM

It can't be confused with the signature when it's on the same line as the IP thingie, as I said... :-/ Though it's kinda messy, it would look differently on different resolutions and stuff.... So it's not such a good idea I guess. :-/


RE: "edited" location by theguy on 01-14-2004 at 01:49 PM

* theguy says keep it where it's at!

Why do we have to have everything different from other sites?


RE: "edited" location by Wabz on 01-14-2004 at 02:07 PM

Keep it where it's at man it's just in the right place and it shows exactly whats been edited if it's next to the sig people may start getting confused


RE: "edited" location by billywoods1 on 01-14-2004 at 04:16 PM

Keep it where it is. :s It's fine where it is, and I think it'd just look crap under the IP thing, to be honest. :P

New idea: get rid of the bloody IP notice. :s


RE: "edited" location by Choli on 01-14-2004 at 04:35 PM

You should keep it where it's now.
If you put it under IP, that will be dodgy :P The ip is after the sig and the post ends before the sig so the text "this post has been edited by..." would make no much sense (after the sig) :blah!:I've read very quickly this thread, maybe others sasid something similar.
The text we're talking about, is about the post, not the sig nor anything else, so it should go just after the post, ie. where it's now.

Also, the IP address: logged should not be shown to us, non admin/mods members, because we can't use it so ...

That's just what I think... plus I'd get so confused if it moved :P

I think the idea is to scare potential flooders/spammers etc :gfdrin:
RE: "edited" location by Choli on 01-14-2004 at 04:42 PM

oh, yes. I also agree with fluffy_lobster: if it's moved we'll get confused and about the IP, it's ok. Leave it as it's :wink:


RE: "edited" location by ranicx on 01-17-2004 at 05:46 PM

mm i think it should be left how it is as well.. but 1 line break down
                                                         <-- line break

So? the post time is also not under the post, but under the user profile, and we all understand what the time is about. Many other popular BBs have it under the sig, and I'm not saying we must have it like that just because they do, instead that they have it because it looks better.

This is how it would look (with less line spacing though):

RE: "edited" location by Choli on 01-17-2004 at 09:54 PM

well, once seen the image, it doesn't look so bad/ugly :P You made me doubt.... 8-)


RE: "edited" location by CookieRevised on 01-17-2004 at 10:18 PM

And the line is going to be shorter... (somewhere in another thread WDZ talked about it)

I agree. I usually add the line break in myself when I edit a post, because it just looks better. (Y)

"Keeping it where it is" is winning in the poll. :banana:
RE: "edited" location by Mippo on 01-18-2004 at 05:56 PM

Well, I agree with sock... It's so easy to recreate one then.

Look at my sig now! It's too easy. :dodgy: And if everybody's going to do that for edited messages... I vote for another place, or else just the one we have right now. what about next to the top of the post, the title? Or even above that? :gfdrin:

It's easier to recreate now (just below the post, no <br>, no <p>, nothing :rolleyes:. In your "recreation" it can be noted it's fake because of the paragraph break between your sig and the line below it.
RE: "edited" location by kao on 01-19-2004 at 04:25 PM

keep it where it is :undecided:


RE: "edited" location by user2319 on 01-19-2004 at 07:08 PM

keep it where it is!! It is fine now, and under the ip address: logged, looks crappy :-/


RE: "edited" location by wj on 01-21-2004 at 06:41 AM

I say we tatoo it to WDZ's Forehead, But failing that, With the IP logged bit

That's a good idea! :lol:
RE: "edited" location by Muss on 01-21-2004 at 09:23 AM

YOu oculd put it in between "find" and "Edit" in nice big red writing :D


Or

you could leave it where it is :P


RE: "edited" location by user2319 on 01-21-2004 at 09:25 AM

Leave it!!


RE: "edited" location by BooGhost on 01-21-2004 at 09:04 PM

I tatooed on WDZ forehead but then it would be difficult to see.... :-/

so i decided to say "Keep it where it is"...... damn i almost sound as a lazy admin :P

Someone's been playing with settings me thinks... :dodgy:

To be honest, I don't care where it goes, but would personally prefer it below the "IP Logged" line.

that makes me think about a "This poll has been edited by" text ^o)
RE: "edited" location by WDZ on 01-22-2004 at 03:43 AM

* WDZ slaps wj around a bit with a large trout.

Now this poll is definitely "corrupt"... I'm just going to keep the text where it is... :p


RE: "edited" location by Chrono on 01-22-2004 at 03:58 AM

woohoooooooo thx wj!! :banana:

:lol:


RE: "edited" location by WDZ on 01-22-2004 at 04:02 AM

Guido's sig is another "contributing factor"... :refuck: :dodgy:


RE: "edited" location by Mnjul on 01-22-2004 at 04:06 AM

Who edited the poll result :-/
* Mnjul thinks where the Edited location doesn't matter so much anyway :-/


RE: "edited" location by Chrono on 01-22-2004 at 04:09 AM

:lol:

i was going to remove it, but.. he wasnt against the rules :undecided: (though it was dodgy :dodgy:)


RE: "edited" location by bach_m on 01-22-2004 at 04:13 AM

You're not talking about the "on" again, are you? :dodgy: :p
RE: "edited" location by lizard.boy on 01-22-2004 at 10:50 PM

id say the only thing that should be changed is to change the edited so that its after a line break


RE: "edited" location by Chrono on 01-22-2004 at 10:53 PM

ya that would be better :P
(reopened thread :dodgy:)


RE: "edited" location by CookieRevised on 01-22-2004 at 11:56 PM

You people are all afraid of change :XP:


RE: "edited" location by Chrono on 01-23-2004 at 12:08 AM

we are not afraid of change, is just that changing it is the worst idea ever (Not really, but i dont like it :P)

Do what? Add the line break? I plan to before I upgrade.
RE: "edited" location by frog on 01-23-2004 at 05:11 AM

move the edited thing you dip shit :P... hehehe :lipsrsealed:  :lol:[Image: ping.gif][Image: pong.gif]

[Image: edit.jpg]   thats what the topic is about no? :P


RE: "edited" location by WDZ on 01-23-2004 at 05:18 AM

I don't care how long it takes to move it! I already said no, because it would look shitty down there, people wouldn't notice it, and many people want to keep it where it is.

Now, thread closed. :rolleyes:
