I just promoted a top-secret, previously moderator-only enhancement to the forums: revision logs.

On every post that has been edited, you will see a "revised on" link next to it. Clicking on it will reveal the entire revision history of the post. To respect privacy, it is only visible to authenticated users, and a no-index meta tag is present (although given that bots aren't authenticated, it doesn't really matter).

Unfortunately it is not yet compatible with images or code blocks.

Anybody abusing the revision log to hide text in an attempt to be cute will simply lose their editing privileges. Likewise, anybody abusing the revision log to reply to modified or deleted content will lose their ability to see revisions.

And in an unrelated note, Vimeo videos can be embedded now.

Good idea. Especially for the posts that look like:

It's working well. We can even have a talk with yourself with the edit and see the result in the 'revised' part.

I can't see it from here I think... trying to edit this post afterwards.

EDIT: Editing... Oh, I get it now, sorry for the spam, feel free to delete this, yadda yadda... ::)

EDIT2: Perhaps a screenshot can illustrate as the addition is not so obvious at first look? very well done, BTW!

EDIT3: Beaten.

Very nice feature.

Does this have anything to do with my inability to edit a post in the religion thread? :-/

Did I lose my editing privileges somehow or is it the new normal behavior? :-/ I'm confused.

Suppose you write something in a reply, then cancel it. If you then try to post later, there's a box asking if you want to resume where you left off before. Does that count as an "edit"?

A post is automatically closed for editing after certain criteria (yet to be finalized) are met.

Nice... Prepare to see a new language. It's going to be called: Enitsp. Mostly is going to be a mix of Italia English an Spanish... previously I had the ability to don't show this strange idiom, but certainly exist... It's related to ignorant people, though. I don't know why. But now you're going to learn Enisp!! Cheers!!...

Let's start!:

I fear my posts will not be up their usual standards any more. Through revisions people will see how I craft my beautiful witty prose from coarse language to elegant sufficiency.

So, it's first cut only from now on. Starting from this post.

I edit my posts only 79 thousand times - always in an effort to make my point more clear and/or fix grammar. As long as I don't lose that, I'm good.

I bet if we ran a bot to find out who edits the most, it's me.

Yeah...

As long as you don't show the previews too I'm fine...

Because sometimes my post starts like this:

You fuck could serach in google and fuck the document you fuck, try better, I already told you fuck I hate you, you shouldn't be a programmer, fuck fuck fuck!!

And ends like this:
