Edit button idea?

I've noticed that with the edit button, you're post doesn't go up to the top like with a new post. The only problem I have about that is in the DNN Station, whenever I add a new AMV or something, I use the edit command to avoid double posting or triple posting. So could the edit button also push your thread back up to the top, at least in there?

Depends. People could abuse the function by over-editing their thread, just so it gets attention by being at the top.

We don't seem to have trouble with you double posting as long as you're posting an update to your post. I think you can do just fine postining a new AMV or leaving a comment to announce the update and then edit the first post to change the title. It's how people does it most of time.

Personally I wouldn't mind it myself, would be much better than double posting -withing the character limits, because sometimes the forum does refuse to update threads that exceed an amount of characters it seemd.

The problem is I don't think it's something that can be done in this type of forum. It'll be up to Nobi to determine if it's possible and in such case if the process won't be too troublesome to implement.

So since I already put a new AMV up with the edit command, I could add another post announcing it's update?

I suppose it's alright to do that XP

That's the general practice, anyway. It may seem inconvenient, but I have a good feeling it would be WAY more inconvenient for Nobi to make things just a little more convenient for you. Of course any added convenience is a good investment in the long run, but this one in particular hardly seems worth putting the time and effort into any time soon.

I believe this was asked way back when and I agree with, Raijin.

If you can't figure out what to say off the bat, don't come to the forums or just, look over your post before clicking, "Submit,".

The way I make my thread to the top when I update my AMV is first (seeing that you only do this with AMV, I guess this will do.) I copy my last post completely, delete the post, reply the topic, paste what you copied and add your update, and then your topic will be the top. This way, you can get your topic in the top with editting.

Like I said, people can already easily bump topics for no reason. It's called "replying". There's no difference between irresponsibly bumping a topic with the edit button or the reply button. Either way you'd get in trouble for it. Actually, less people would be able to pointlessly bump with an edit than a reply because for that they'd have to have posted in the topic already.

When a topic gets bumped for no reason, it gets locked, and the bumper gets in trouble. I've already seen it happening. I don't see how adding another way to do it would make things worse. I suppose the logic you're using is that twice as many buttons with the bump effect means twice as much bumping? But remember that that the number of people that are stupid enough to bump for no reason is the same, giving them a second way to do it won't exactly increase their frequency with it, they'll just have another option with which to do it. The end result is exactly the same.
