    I normally provide Header Revision Update Dates, but this forum date stamps edits automatically and I will leave it to that.
    - it would be nice if the date stamp was changed to bright red font color to highlight that fact. Possible Otto?

    cc on ww2talk. There are a couple of folks there that just lambaste you with spit and vinegar if you edit ANYTHING, anytime.

    (Deliberate edit here in order to make my case.)

    Thanks Owen... my brothers namesake, with an equally wicked sense of humour.
    ... I have't laughed that hard in ages. Needed that! :salute:

    Would this 'lambasting' be when you've been picked up for editing in that you'd strangely left malware links in a random accusation of Spam, or the other times you've re-edited a post to almost completely change it's context, Fred?
    Just wondering, 'cos you've got form on that score, and the Moderator who has picked you up on it once or twice has something of a point.
    She'd also probably look silly in big boy's pants...



    Anyway. I demand all forums have a little gif of a dancing Hitler on every page, and that I'm notified whenever someone posts the word 'and'.

    It's always such fun editing CSS & other templates to cater for every strange little whim. Well worth the effort...

    Message to our admins: Von Poop, Owen and Otto:

    You might be interested to know that a gave away a warp drive good, brand spanking new PC Laptop to a disabled charity outfit here in town the week that Malware hit. Never again PC for me. Mac all the way.

    As for for that. Yip. I am hyper sensitive nowadaze over there... having been VonPooped on as you note on at least two occasions.
    Hope you've been happy with me for a pigs age 'cause of this.

    However... please start considering us poor folks who do a fair chunk of work on Smart Phones.
    It is just NOT possible to proof read anything longer than a sentence or two. So the edit function is going to be increasingly occurring as modern lifestyles impinge on your CroMagnon Cave lifestyle. Ie, get a life and start living with it chummy chum chum!!! [​IMG]

    And another hugely edited post.
    My irony meter is emitting smoke...

    I use the forums mostly from my phone, mate. It's OK.
    (And mucking about with the mobile view templates on this software is even more of a mindbender than the standard setup. I promise you - it does not simply involve selecting an option.)

    I hate it when I'm late to a party. :D

    Fred, I should say that we are moving to a new software platform in the next few months. At this stage any alterations to the site, whether cosmetic or functional would only be temporary. I'm not going to spend time editing the site for stopgap measures. I will however make note of both useful suggestions in this thread (the font color of edited dates as well as the dancing Hitler animation) and see if they can be implemented on the new site.

    Good to see the moose lurking around here.
