I've noticed that it's impossible to post a reply to a topic if you were the last one to post, which makes sense, as double posting can be annoying. But when you edit a post, it doesn't show up as having new content, so if someone reads a post and ignores it because it's lacking any significant information, then the post gets edited, the new changes can go unnoticed. A few of my threads that I've posted significant updates to in the past have gone ignored because of this and I don't want it to happen with my current post in the Allegro Development section as I've been adding more and more information to it throughout the day but no one's said anything since Evert first pointed something out to me. So my question is: What's appropriate behaviour when you've added important information to a thread where you were the last one to post? --- Kris Asick (Gemini) --- Kris Asick (Gemini) |

Use the Send to Top button. It's what it's for. -- |

That's what that button does? I always thought it was for scrolling the page back up to the top or something... ...which doesn't make sense considering it's at the top... hangs head in shame Thanks for pointing that out for me. --- Kris Asick (Gemini) --- Kris Asick (Gemini) |

I should also point out that I actually only read what comes in through my e-mail these days, meaning I see the development forum and not much else. That means I might miss edits, though they do seem to come through on the e-mail now and then (I'mnot sure when, it seems they don't always). |

If a person uses the "Send To Top," then the post will be emailed again. |

What about adding tooltips to all those buttons?

They used to have long tool tips. No one appeared to read them. |

Yeah, but then you could at least tell people they are being dumb -- Ryan Patterson - <http://cgamesplay.com/> |

I'm using the mini bar thing, so it's on the top of my screen all the time. |

I rather dislike the mini bar. I may still fix up my old a.cc extension to make the main forum look like it did when the bulbs were clickable. -- |
