(Default) Feature: Quick Edit
 

The AJAX-powered Quick Edit feature has been enabled. Editing your post now takes place in the thread itself.

This feature will remain enabled until all the following people protest against it:

Wow, this works on other people's posts too!

The above comment was made by ^__^, but I decided to try it out.

Minion can't spell. =p

Holy crap. I just edited a thread and this startled the hell out of me. Very snazzy... ;D Rather odd that it doesn't physically update the page in the process.

Can the reason for edit field be embedded there too? Or do we just have to go Advanced to fill that in.

edit: edit test! pass!
edit2: *boom* headshot.
edit3: bears are huge.
edit4: pirates are ridiculous.

I just fucking noticed this.

I am a HUGE editor. I am ALWAYS going back and editting. I absolutely LOVE this feature. LOVE IT.

Thanks so much, Blah. This makes life a lot easier, quicker, and generally more nice-looking. <3

This is awesome, Blah. Good thing you turned it on. ;)

P.S. This makes deleting posts easier too. :tpg:

Only moderators should be allowed to edit posts.

What, does the thread self-destruct when you start to make your post. I've been told that some people even proofread before hitting any buttons.

The only people who edit their posts are self-conscious freaks.

I never knew this was realized with Ajax. I always thought it involved brimstone and voodoo magicks.

Seriously, is there anything that can't be done in Ajax?

I'm requesting a spreadsheet software to be realized within GFF, so I can keep track of my pointless posts.

*adds one*

It's a nice feature actually, it helps me edit and view other's posts at the same time. I was surprised when it popped up, but pleasantly surprised. I don't always take change well, so I'll have to give this some mileage before I make my final decision. I'd like to se some more features put in the toolbar for quickediting, I'm too damn lazy to manually type in vBCode.

This is awesome, considering how often I edit my posts; now it can be completed in an even shorter amount of time.
AJAX is <3

Great feature saves some time on the small spell/grammar fixes ect that you have to do at times.

To be fair, I requested this feature to be FIXED. :p

Wait... so it doesn't show when it was last edited?

So how can we laugh at others?

The "last edited" message still shows up as normal, after the 2-minute grace period is up.

For a while there I thought this was the fancy double-click-on-post-and-you-can-edit-it-directly thing and tried in vain to apply it for a while :(

Neat feature anyway, sure to help me out quite a bit as I'm always going back to edit something after posting.

This feature is amazing! Awesome work Blah! =D

Ya know, it's not like people will be editing your posts. I mean, you do realise that we can only edit our own posts, and as such, what we do with our own posts is our own damn business, unless it breaks rules.

OMFG!!!! Proofreading? What a crappy idea! Damn, I'm sorry that the staff allow those fucktards to stay on the forum!!!

OK, so I bet you just insulted half the forums right there. Well done. That's one hell of an impressively broad target for a flame.

I said it was a default feature ;_;

Yeah, for some reason, GFF was never up to date with the recent vBulletin features that were default in other boards. It's good to see we finally get to use the good stuff, as well.

I can't read, Blah. ;__;

Doesn't matter. I give you credit for enabling such an awesome thing.

Lol, AJAX. What do you get when you try to sell XHTML and Java as a new technology that breaks accessibility.




This quick edit feature is very useful though

When you have a lot of custom code, and customised templates, it can be a royal pain in the ass to upgrade to a newer version. You really need downtime to work the bugs out of it, or at least, a second box to act as a test-bed. It's hell.

Care for me to test it?

edit: =o nice.

Well, you know, those radio buttons don't just push themselves!

I'd take AJAX over Flash any day :edgarrock:

Thanks for making editing easier.

I agree with Kaleb. Deleting posts has become more convenient.
