Hi can you please tell me if it is possible for a user A to see the old content of a post made by user B after he modify it ? ?
AI-generated summary
The discussion revolves around whether users can see modifications to others’ posts. tester01 asks if it is possible for a user to see the old content of a post after it has been modified by the original author. Falco and Heliosurge respond that this is configurable with the site setting edit history visible to public. If this setting is on, everyone can view edit history. If it is off, only the user who made the post and staff (mods, admins) can view the edits. Heliosurge clarifies that certain user levels, including mods and admins, have this ability by default, and non-staff users can also view edits if the site setting allows it and they have a minimum trust level.
hi, I think it is not possible ?
That’s configurable with the setting edit history visible to public .
Yes depending on Site setting and user level.
For example @Falco edited your post from Uncategirized → Support Category.
See red pencil on the right top of your post.
User trust level does not affect the ability to view the edit history of a post. If the site setting is on everybody can see it but if it is off only the user that made the post and staff (mods, admins and possibly cat mods can view the edits)
In @Heliosurge’s defence he didn’t say “user trust level” - he said “user level” - and “mods, admins and possibly cat mods” sounds very much like a description of user levels.
I covered that below.
Mod and Admins have this ability by default. Tye site setting (iirc default on) with a min trust level for non staff.
I am not staff for example but due to site setting and my trust level am permitted to see edits here.
