Hiya, when a mod edits your post are you meant to be able to click on the "last edited by x" and compare the versions? I could do this for a post Trem edited for me, but the ability seems to have gone away.

Edit : testing

Is this in the yoda thread luv?

I don't have a bloody clue but I edited the quote in your post, that is all I did, did not touch your reply/reaction as I found it totally fair. Just got rid of the quote so no one else could see it from the original post.

I dunno. I can see the "view post" link on deleted posts, and can compare edited versions (now that you mention it I must add). I am not aware if normal users can see that or do it.

I just edited Ch3t's post, and I can certainly view history on the edit.

See I could do it for about 5-10 minutes after Trem's edit. Can't tell with yours as I only just got in.

Its to do with the edit timer - you can only see the previous versions while you are within the 10 minute allowed edit time, after that it locks the post down, atleast as far as I can tell.

The reasoning for this is - I think - because you can actually undo the edits within the edit timer and revert to the previous version of the post, obviously after that point you cant, unless perhaps you're a mod, or have a tremendous amount of cheese on your head, like Trem does.

But it let me view Trems edit of my post, and gave me the option to compare versions and revert. Surely reverting a mods edit isn't allowed?

I think you can revert a mod's edit within the 10 minute editing period - its probably a bug but I'm pretty sure it would be possible - the reason it wont have been fixed is because the mod just has to wait for 10 minutes or whatever the editing period is and then redo the changes - 99% of a mod's work will happen outside of the editing time I would think.
