[huh] Mm, sorry for the silly question but it kept bothering me since the first time I saw it, and I saw it lately more than several times-*personal CP * means *personal Control Panel * or *personal Custom Page*...

Control Panel, right...?

Thanks.

(I didn't want to create a thread for that, but I didn't find a place to locate it, so let it be...)

Control Panel.

We don't really offer a *Custom Page* but the profile serves that end. A Custom Page option for full members might be a nice feature to seek in new software actually. Maybe we could even include attached blogs both as a feature of this site and as links to the blogs of our members.

We have links to messenger programs now and I think it might be possible to include links to personal blogs as feature of the CP/Profile if we look for it.

I will pass this idea along. Thanks Adi.

[Infernity]

Ah thank you Laz.

Oops, I could put it in the Frequently Asked Questions forums, although I think I am the only one ever asked this question...

[Lazarus Long]

No problem Adi I will move this thread where I think it can do the most good.

[Lazarus Long]

I take it back Adi we have both.

I found when I looked that we do have an underused feature called a *Custom Page*. It is available to edit off the left hand side menu under the control panel.

Custom Page

Maybe we should change the name of one of these to avoid confusion.

[Infernity]

Ah, also good, thanks...

Oh and Laz, and what do you mean

We don't really offer a *Custom Page*

[?]

I've seen the option here, lots of members do have their Custom Page.
Here is mine.
Found also in the compact profile aside the posts...

What and where... edited?


Consider these two lines from the message reproduced below in the quotation box:

About line #1: segment: "Aw Laz, could... at least", is removed from where? I suggest that the editor place some indication like (snipped) in the exact location of the message edited, to show that words have been removed from that exact place.

About line #2: I think it's clear that the author of the message in effect took back the message and rewrote it and then sent in her final version, and the forum mechanism automatically puts that indication that it has been edited by the author. I like that.


Tell me, anyone here, an author can delete his own messages anytime without restrictions of time and manner, and also edit likewise?

I propose earnestly that no deletion by the author be possible after one (1) hour from posting, and no editing after 15 minutes.

I am one researcher-writer very allergic to authors who delete and/or edit their writings.

What they should do is to post further messages to withdraw what they want to retract/remove or to correct or revise what they want to amend in their earlier posts.

Susma,

This post has been edited by infernity on May 18, 2005

Heh, well in Israel, it appears like it has been edited in May 19, 2005 [tung]

About line #1: segment: "Aw Laz, could... at least", is removed from where? I suggest that the editor place some indication like (snipped) in the exact location of the message edited, to show that words have been removed from that exact place.

No Susma, it was deleted, was not removed. He deleted a little dialog we had over there.

About line #2: I think it's clear that the author of the message in effect took back the message and rewrote it and then sent in her final version, and the forum mechanism automatically puts that indication that it has been edited by the author. I like that.

No again Susma, I was only putting there the 'EDIT' addition, didn't touch the rest of the post.

Tell me, anyone here, an author can delete his own messages anytime without restrictions of time and manner, and also edit likewise?

Aye.

I propose earnestly that no deletion by the author be possible after one (1) hour from posting, and no editing after 15 minutes.

If it would have been so, I'd be already kick from the forums by my parents [lol] , remember the photo affair? never mind, however, if I couldn't erase messages and edit, I would have been out of here for already a long time...
I think that would have been the only time my parents would have let my do hacking to take things off.

These forums are the Immortality Institute forums! that's not a place for spam and junk!
You like aspire to have order, but if you look deep, you can see it would have make it like a chaos, full of spam and notes everywhere.

I am one researcher-writer very allergic to authors who delete and/or edit their writings.

Here is where our way are crossing - - I believe there should be a place to correct mistakes, ameliorate, and take things back. doing as your wish here is pretty primitive.

What they should do is to post further messages to withdraw what they want to retract/remove or to correct or revise what they want to amend in their earlier posts.

As a girl from Israel with plenty of spelling and grammar mistakes, I can tell the number of my posts would have been triple time than what I have now if not more... I edit a lot, and I would not like my post to repeat several times, it's not a place for drafts but to the final messages.

The forums would have been so messy and unfriendly to be familiar with, and my posts would have been everywhere.
And due that I am sure there would also been thousands of notes of my posts being removed, that's really stupid!

It didn't come out because you did the "=infernity" which is known as a source of problems...

No, the reason of it not working is because you did "[quote]" which does not belong to any unquote and it messed it up, I realized when I tried to quote this sentences : PS Below is the reproduction of the message done with the [quote] function.
as it is, but have changed it to: PS Below is the reproduction of the message done with the quote function.
because of it making all your quotations as a simple text.
