That would be very nice, but when you compare the amount of work involved to the overall usefulness of the feature, it's just not worth adding.

That string would be too long, especially when the date isn't "Today" or "Yesterday"...

Don't roll your eyes at me... I didn't write the help pages.

Yeah, I thought about that -- It's not THAT hard to add though

But well, at least move the string under the IP Address line

It's actually harder than you might think, unless you want some buggy, unreliable, half-assed thing.

* WDZ thinks about it in his head and thinks it would look crappy there too.

Almost every other forum on the web, and even some basic comment scripts, put an edited line right under the message... why should we be different?

because this is MsgPlus? Seriously... /me also thinks that putting it under the IP-thingie would be very clean and nice... It's wasted space anyway there. Take out the linebreak(s) and put it there, no?

I think that evverything is just perfect the way they are right now

Edit: now I just had to edit, just for the hell of it lol

DZ have a look at this: http://insanes.co.uk/?p=pics and click on a pic..

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..

But i think under the ip would be the best out of everything, ive also hated the edited line, from day one..

(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 )

Because it would look better? And because Mybb could use some help from innovations in order to become noticeable in the Forums Scripts world?

Let's "copy" good things, not everything. And if no one makes something better ever, everybody will just keep on doing everything the same way. We would still be playing Commodore 64 games...

Another disadvantage of the current edit line is that it can be faked. Yeah sure, no big deal...

It should scare us , but it doesn't. I agree it should be removed

Anyway, Under the IP it would look like this:



Looks good to me

And with the div popup:


ps: I know that's not the best thing to integrate into a forum system, but it would be kinda neat -- no problem if it's not done, I'm just suggesting from the GUI design point of view.

best idea so far. im with that one

Actually, Guido's suggestion does look really good.  I personally would prefer something like that...

Maybe rather than an absolute-positioned thing (which as wdz is a beast to code) why not have a link that expands the complete edit list into the main page, that then collapses it when it's already expanded?
