Does the thread mark itself 'new' if I update it?

I know it does that when comments are posted , but if I say edit in the mark II droid into it would it update? I really don't want to clutter the comments with 'such and such droid added!'...

I don't think so.


What you are essentially asking is if editing a post bumps the thread(marks it new for others). The answer is no.

Crud then. Well I guess I can do what I normally do : put 'update : x added' in the comments.


Maybe this idea should be a new feature?
 
I'm not so sure that would be such a good idea. Especially when it comes to things like character creation. People will be adding and adjusting their character sheets in the early creation of a game. I don't feel having a huge list of "X-user edited a post in Y-thread" in the alerts would be all that helpful, even less so if you have your alerts also sending out automated e-mail notifications. Do you want to be trawling through 20+ post edit emails because someone in one of your games keeps adding or taking away things in their character sheet? I'm much happier to have people either add a message in OOC or under their character sheet when they've edited something.

That's probably true. Like I said I'll just post in the comments when I add new droids to the droid lists.
 
To expand on further, the reason why we are hesitant is because such a thing isn't built into the forums and no addon currently exists for Xenforo that does what you ask. This would mean we would have to have it commissioned by a developer. That's a lot of $$$ and we simply do not have that within our budget at the moment. Especially for a minor feature that can just be replaced with someone posting an update post.


However I mean we could look into possibly letting people bump their own threads. Of course there would be time restrictions and such but that might be a possibility. Although that doesn't really reach the point you are getting at with editing = bumping.
