[REJECTED] Unlimited edits and Thread History

Well, there's been some clamor lately about editing your posts not being possible after a while. I suggest that a "history" button be implemented, possibly admin-only, so that a user could see what posts were before edits. This way, unlimited editing could be implemented on the forums. As for coding, it's standard wiki coding, so it shouldn't be that difficult, although it might take up some extra space on Intelli's computer.

I was under the impression that Staff (but possibly just Intelli) could already see posts' previous versions. Anyway, I would love to have edits back so I could properly update auction posts with winners, current bids, and whatnot without having to link to an offsite picture.

Yeah same here. having to do a post about the first post changes/updates is very annoying -_- I support this idea.

I'm going to bump this, because I still think it's an important idea, and it hasn't been rejected yet. I believe this falls under "useful necro-ing".
