May 11, 200917 yr This feature, which warns you if someone has posted between the time you've clicked 'Reply' and when you actually submit your post, can be a bit useful at times. However, on some threads that are especially active, it can become quite cumbersome, warning you several times before you are able to post. If the edit button didn't exist, this feature would be absolutely necessary, however we miraculously can edit our posts, so this feature is redundant at times. What I suggest is the choice of whether or not to enable this feature. I've checked the UCP and failed to find such an option. I'm not sure if it is possible, but it would make posting much more enjoyable in busy threads. Credit to Nick_6464 to bringing up the issue here. There's no such thing as regret. A regret means you are unhappy with the person you are now,and if you're unhappy with the person you are, you change yourself. Thatregret will no longer be a regret, because it will help to form the new,better you. So really, a regret isn't a regret. It's experience.
May 12, 200917 yr A nice idea and I can understand how it would be desirable. I've never had any extreme problems with the feature, but I know how quickly some topics can be replied to. The most that I've had to resubmit is maybe two or three times, but I'm sure it can get worse. An admin would have to look at this though, as I have no idea if it's possible or easy to implement. - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog
May 12, 200917 yr The only place where there is a place to turn it on or off is the administration control panel. Moving it to the UCP would require a MOD, don't know how likely that is.

Yeah I know that the administrators try to refrain from using MODs unless it's absolutely necessary. - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog
May 12, 200917 yr It's fairly easy to enable or disable, but as others have said it would require a mod to allow the user to determine its functionality. I certainly agree that it can be very annoying and support this change, I will start looking for a mod in case the admins decide it is worthy of a change.

May 16, 200917 yr Author I'm just go ahead that MOD stands for modification, and that a MOD would require changing the code of either the entire forum, or the current themes. I can agree with the hesitation to avoid this, I know how volatile code is. There's no such thing as regret.
