when someone edits there post, make that forum show that it has been updated-(the circle thing goes orange).
The reason i think this would be a good idea is because you know if some ones edited there post, its kinda like a new reply.
Sometimes you dont know they've edited so you dont check the froum.

I believe that someone had posted this idea before, but I don't know what happened to it. This would be helpful in Art galleries and Sprite galleries.

And there are MODS that do this. If you want to do this, it's possible and easy.
To be more specific, some of those topics allow you to make the post appear as "new" as long as the main post (first post) us updated; which would be very usefull for games/art and sprites galleries.

On the other hand , the big problem about this is that it allows you to re-bump your topic all the times you want; and that can be bad if you have post-whorers.

Or they could, you know, make a new post to say they updated their gallery.

lazy person is lazy

If I had a nickel for every time Geno had been suggested, I would have 69 cents. And that's after I got here.

....

How the hell do you get 69 cents in nickels?

If it's the last post, just copy and paste the entire post, delete it, then repost with the update.

*modifies rule #12*

There, now it can be

Anyway, couldn't people bump their topic anyway? (which is against the rules for really old topics) There is a mod for this, but I could see it being a problem if there are a lot of gallery topics (then again, won't people be posting in it anyway which would get it bumped? :huh: )

Yeah, double posting is OK because many newbies might press post twice, don't see the edit button, etc. I don't think you should penalize them for what other people do.

But just think, the scenario you mentioned just now was an accident. But if they read the rules, it would be no accident. If a moderator sees the rule broken and the user is new then it probably was an accident, in which case it should be up to the moderator's discretion. Besides, it's just as easy to triple post without knowing about the rule so I don't see why I should limit the rule to things only above triple posting.
