Because removing the edit notice would be useful in: 1. Removing spam. You wouldn't want a spammer to get all up on your case, would you? Just leave it at *spam removed* or the sort, no need to leave your fingerprints all over. 2. Editing an important (maybe pinned, maybe not) topic. It would seem a little bothersome to have an important announcement with the Edited By words, wouldn't it? Even if it was just a spelling error or something, which is the next reason... 3. A simple change, such as grammar or spelling, for the sake of being neat. Sloppy work gives sloppy results. Would you really want an extra line noting you edited a post when the post looks not much different? I rest my case. Bypassing the word filters is a different story from bypassing the edit notice. One thing I'm not getting in this argument of bypassing word filters: If an admin sets word filters to make sure topics/posts are clean, why should he choose to be explicit whenever he wants? If you want a clean board, keep clean yourself. Bypassing word filters gives no good advantages yet no disadvantages (save for taking up the time of whoever does the upgrade work - Brandon if I'm not mistaken?). |

I thought word filters are set to avoid immature language, not mature language.

Sure, we don't need a new feature, but if we already have it we should use it in all possible ways. You see, user always should be able to decide, if he want to use given feature or not. Maybe that sound that I'm lazy, but if I'm forced to post the exactly same message million times, I would want to have some shortcuts to do that. That would work like AutoTools. And be also accessible to normal Members, who are not Staff Member, so they cannot use AutoTools. I see this feature as in groups: Bypass word filter Yes/No <-- this already exist Can opt out of bypassing word filter Yes/No <-- the new feature Also would be good, if users could be members of few groups at once, so I would be able to customize their abilities more. I mean, I would have 1 Member, who can opt out of displaying edit notice, and 1 Member, who cannot, and both of them would belong to the exactly same usergroup. As for now I cannot do that. |

That doesn't work for me. Either you're using settings to which my board is not equally configured, or my board has a problem with the auto-merging. |

1. PM reply at the top, rather than the bottom (yet another mention of one of ZB's greatest flaws can't do any harm). 2. Full recognition of and abilities for Moderators (i.e. staff list, Trashcan, etc). 3. A way of showing if a member has a blog and when it's been updated, without having to check every profile. 4. Full edit, delete, etc. options for staff on all blogs. ACP: 5. Pages for details of banned accounts in ACP, rather than having everything on one endless page. Or at least page separation for banned email, IP addresses and usernames. 6. All fields for 'Ban Users' at the top of the page, rather than an annoyingly lengthy scroll away at the bottom - in triplicate. 7. One field rather than two for 'Ban Email Address'. Was there a reason why it was made so cumbersome? :unsure: EDIT: 8. Combine topics option for Trashcan. Edited by FOS, Jul 14 2010, 10:16 PM.

In the meantime, you could always try Pete's modification to achieve this: http://resources.zetaboards.com/topic/5091192/1/ ![]() Jonathan |

Yes, please please add this in the next update! We had to disable the blogs on our forum due objectionable material being posted in someone's blog. Now no one can use the blogs due to one incident. Which is really sad because some of the forum members really liked blogging on the forum. |

I like all of FOS's suggestions, but this one is the most pressing for us:
If some people don't want moderators to have access to the trash, maybe it could be made optional. I would like to add my own wish ---> a real Move Posts (without work-arounds) Many thanks for everything! |

I read somewhere that blog updates would be placed into the Board Feed. Not sure where else they would go, but I saw that at least stated.

As long as we're wishing: Someday, some way, I'd love to see a way to do a mass calendar update. Our schedule just came out, and I had to add 594 events. It was extremely painful having to use those drop-down boxes 594 times, and hideously slow. I'd like to see either (a) a way to import a csv file, or (b) a mass entry screen that let me enter a series of events without having to go through the whole rigamarole of entering them one by one using the dropdowns, then updating and waiting for the board to catch up, then doing the next. I've used similar screens on other sites and can give an example if need be. It could be an ACP screen if necessary. I realize a lot of sites don't use the calendar, but it's crucial for others. It shouldn't have to be so difficult. |

Administrators may, on a post by post basis, opt out of displaying an edit. Usually to make the edit fair, I will do something like, "& then I stepped in a big pile of dog _ _ _ _ in the grass!" and leave the edit note in place to show it was edited and by whom. It has the added benefit of showing how quickly transgressions are caught and rectified, discouraging similar posting in future. The ability to opt out of the edit notice is useful for test posts or other posts which may require updating like the site rules or welcome notice. It is a small thing but makes the site look more professional. |
