Hi guys,
I'll soon be turning on the feature that indicates at the bottom of a message when it was modified and by whom. I hesitated to do it before now cuz it didn't seem necessary, but despite requests for everyone to simply look over their own submitted messages after the system automatically loads them anyway (see
Bandwidth Saving Measures on Current Talk), I find I'm still modifying a great deal of messages. So, if my name or dom's appears at the bottom of your messages, the most common reason was to remove a large amount of blank space that others would have to scroll past in order to keep reading, such as this...
Are you still with me?
Other reasons a moderator might've modified your message(s) are faulty YaBB codes, unwelcome smilies [I asked MB to change the
smiley code to something other than 8 and ) but with all the other work needed on the forum it's not a priority at this time], to attribute a quote to its author, to add spacing, or to add a Spoiler warning/icon. I think it bears repeating that the mods DON'T edit the
content in messages unless we TELL you about it and are able to refer to a guideline for the reason.
BTW, if you modify your own messages after they're posted (don't we all?), this will also be reflected at the bottom.
Thanks!
