72737, Posting Anon bug
Posted by JohnEveryMan on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
So, I've noticed when someone posts under an alias that if they edit that post later and you look at the recent posts section the thread
will say "Last modified by (Username)". Which makes it pretty easy to tell who is playing who by the last edit/post.

Anyway, just a headsup and or fyi for anyone posting under Anon char name.

Mostly just the fact that this forum software is in some ways horrible decrepit. If we notice it, we as Immortals will often make a quick (non-)edit so it shows "Last modified by Immortalname".

Surely one of us, if we could see the code, could come up with a patch and give it to you guys to add. I'm under the impression some changes have already been made to the original code so we couldn't just use that. I can't imagine a fix for this to be that overly difficult unless the code base is seriously insane in some way. Hell, I've looked for the original codebase before to see if I couldn't make a fix myself and send it in but I can't find it anywhere as DCScripts.com doesn't seem to be active anymore and no one hosts this codebase.

I know at some point we were aiming to update the forums, but I'm honestly not sure where we left off on that aside from waiting on certain peeps.

I'll check again on it and update here.

Otherwise that's a very kind offer if you're willing to do it, so I'll forward that along too :).

Edited to add: Confirmed we're just waiting on a certain person's presence and then maybe we can pursue updatey stuff.
