The Glowfic Constellation

Do you have a setting, character, plot, art, or other notion that you wish to put on the Internet? This is the Internet! Whee!

A quick test with "prev" and "next", and "14" and "15", on
https://vast-journey-9935.herokuapp.com ... 84?page=15
seems to show unchanged behavior of posts/##?page=## with no difference in link color (all links white).

So after poking at it:
a) I did not have a :visited set (fixed)
b) I had a :hover set that was the same as the background, which was unhelpful (fixed)
c) It was not properly checking for page==1 to grey out the <First link (fixed)

Better now?

A quick test appears to work! Thank you! :)

It's a little odd that "first" and "1" don't go the same address, but it's hardly a problem, they both seem to work fine.

You're welcome! I can make them do so if people prefer it? They technically defer in that one is /posts/id and one is /posts/id?page=1.

Okay, question for the crowd. Various people have now mentioned to me that they have had negative experiences with the fact that editing a post or reply marks it as the post's most recent update. Do people find value in knowing something was edited? Or would they rather have the update field be post-or-reply-created only?

There's value in knowing it was edited if you're looking at the individual reply, I think, but not the overall post unless it's something dramatic, in which case there will probably be another tag after it and therefore it'd show up as updated anyway.

So the "last updated" field should probably be post-or-reply-created only, I think.

I, personally, don't see any value in knowing it was edited, especially because we don't actually know what it was edited from.

We can know what it was edited from! Glowfic Constellation posts have edit histories.

I agree with Throne3d: when I look at a post I want to know its edit status and history; when I look at the recent updates list I only want new posts. Especially because the recent updates page does not tell me which post was edited.

Yes to both--would like to keep the last edited times on individual replies, but not have those edits count as updates to the whole thread for the purposes of the First Unread link/Last Updated field for the whole thread. (I think this is basically the same as what Throne3d said.)

Edit on post review: And what DanielH just said.
