RE: Patience with the Hardfork - There Must Be Consensus

in #hardfork-17 • 9 years ago

I have an unanswered question, please:

When HF17 was originally announced, it was stated that POSTS could be edited permanently rather than only for a month.... I seriously hope that has not changed? Could someone knowledgeable please comment?

I'm asking because I've recently seen multiple summary articles about HF17 mentioning only comments as being editable...

I would really appreciate an answer on this, Thanks in advance.

😄😇😄

    Posts can be edited indefinitely in HF17. The announcement using the word 'comment' was unclear.

      Hello @smooth,

      Now that HF17 and HF18 are "here," is there some magic to editing my older posts? I've gone back to the one I most wish to edit, and see no "Edit" button anywhere... :O

      Any light you might be able to shed on how I can edit an old post would be most appreciated! ;) Thank you in advance.

        I'm told there is still needs to be another UI update to support that. Hopefully it won't take too long.

          There are two parts to this:

          1. In the technical documents, a post is just a root level comment. The change that was in the proposed HF applied to both.
          2. As of now, there are no decisions as to what changes will be included in the next proposed HF. I did not see a lot of controversy around this one, so it is likely to be there, but there are no guarantees.

          don't think we're going to know that or much of anything until consensus is reached @creatr

          OK, thanks. I'm strongly in favor of being able to edit articles in perpetuity. The history remains on the blockchain for anyone interested, but corrections, updates, and additions may continue to be made.

          I appreciate your response, Thank You. ;)

          Can't say that I disagree with that concept since the search engines will continue to find the article ... so changes can be a plus.
