Quote from: Miss-TeriSorry, I was hoping I deleted it before anyone saw it.  I thought twice about it and decided I shouldn't really say anything.  It pretty much just said it's this kind of thread that bothers me - the kind where people are insulting others, or their type of posts.  If something were to make me leave, it would be that kind of behavior, not "fluff" posts, etc.


Don't be sorry... about what you originally said or the fact that you edited it.

mommamia, when I said that one could go to the member area and see who has posted, I didn't mean that anyone could see the unedited version. My point was to show that it is interesting to see which members have posted to certain sections like "General" and "Campfire." For example, it is even more interesting to take the members that posted to this thread topic and to see where they posted in the General and other than "Campfire" prior to 11:57 a.m. Nov 6.;)

hold a sec... there is a crossed wire here.

I only was trying to say to you...
" Yes, i know that, but it would be nice to know if the poster edited or the moderator. As it stands, we can't tell if Miss Teri edited her post because she reconsidered the statement she made or if the Mod thought it was not appropriate and changed it. "

But the rest of that post...

"Also, if when a post is edited it showed when it was changed it would be easier to tell if it was changed just because of some wording error of if it was due to responses that followed. Having to go back to the persons profile and search all the post and find what was said when to clarify is such a run around. And if the original post is still logged under the persons profile, what good is it to be able to edit? I mean, if I say something like "John-o is a doofus" and I edit that out because I realized that that's rude and everyone can still go back to my history of posts and still see that I called John-o a doofus, then what's the point of my editing?

... was strictly just me musing on my own thoughts. I guess I didn't make that clear.  Sorry!

I know you were just pointing out a neat feature.

Yes, I remember from the olden days of the old board that it would say "edited by......@ such and such time."   It would say who edited.  That was a neat feature.  New board is certainly different about some things.

I just found out that it does the same here... BUT with a 5 minute rule.  You have 5 mins after your original post to go back and edit it without it showing you editted.  It seems it is so you can go back quickly and edit without it showing you did so.  After 5 mins. It shows who edited and what time!

That's a good feature and I can go back when I spot a typo from my fast typing and it won't take up a lot of space for the edit line.  That's if I do it within 5 mins.

Lee, (Bearbait) cracks me up! LOL

A long time ago, I was stuck in a management training class. One of the topics covered was "dumping your bucket". It seems that employees sometimes reach a "breaking point" & will enter your office and "dump their buckets" onto you. Once they do, they feel much better & move on with their lives as though nothing ever happenend, forgetting that they left you worried about them. We were told to recognize what was happening & just let it go.
 
I realized then that when these things had happenend in the past, I would dwell on them endlessly. Occasionally, feeling I had an answer for an employee's problem, I would mention my solution at a later time only to receive a facial response of "what are you talking about?" which confused me even more.
 
So, if you go back through the 5 pages of posts so far, you'll notice that Lee only posted ONCE! He feels better and has moved on to other things leaving others to dwell on and magnify his topic into a monster! LOL
 
It's ok though. The board has been slow lately & it's good to see it waking up again. My computer had problems for the past three weeks or so and it's good to be back in the OT section again!

Topcat, dear friend, you are probably right.  We are victims of the "dumped bucket" right here.  LOL!  Well, I did say for the folks complaining to go and post some meaningful stuff .  What really gets me is that the ones complaining actually have been posting on the "Campfire" and you know what that means.  ROTFLOL!

My DW says she never fluffs, but after a good meal (especially some mexican dish)..even the dogs leave the bedroom when she starts "fluffing".  I think they're afraid they may be blamed for it.

wiininkweBirol, don t regret this thread, it gave a lot of us an opportunity to see how others felt, and to say how we felt. That s the whole purpose of being able to share on this forum. You are a great asset to this board, don t ever restrict yourself from posting what you feel is important, or even as a joke.

Topcat, instead of "bucket dumping," it was more like stack dumping and a repeat performance. ;) :D

Not sure what you mean about the above but isn't it about time this topic was left to rest?
