{Sigh with relief} BUT... Feb 15, 2006

Hi Justin,

Thanks for your reply.

However, I am still amazed at the content of KudoZ FAQ #8. "Old" provision or not (at least I had not been aware of it), it contradicts the actual situation where KudoZ contributors (answerers and peer graders alike) were/still are? able to alter their comments several times in order to respond to subsequently added remarks, which I still consider a very useful feature to refine translations/arrive at optimal solutions.

Hi Justin,

I agree with previous commentators insofar as the permanent removal of the possibility to change comments would not be justifiable given the very few people who are mis-/abusing this feature. As moderators, we should be perfectly able to handle these cases.

I agree, Steffen. Thanks a lot for bringing your Mod's viewpoint to this, and for your wise words.

Cheers, all!

=(:-) [Happy Dusty!]

It was a bug Feb 15, 2006

It's been done on purpose! If you check out the FAQs, we are patronizingly being told this is "to stop threads drifting off..." or words to that effect!

No, Dusty, it was a bug. The FAQ is almost as old as peer comments (5 years). I apologize for the inconvenience caused to all of you today. We are implementing procedures to stop this sort of thing from happening.

Sorry, Henry! Feb 15, 2006

Thanks a lot, Henry, for taking the time to respond to my over-reaction; I'm sure you can understand that when this happened, like a good little boy, I checked the FAQs, and not knowing any different, made the wrong assumption!

I hope you'll forgive a sad old Devil for leaping to the wrong conclusion (despite advancing rheumatics!)

Cheers, peer commenters and responders, and ProZ staff, team one and all!

When I try to enter a term in my glossary, well, my glossaries aren't there.. someone elses glossaries under the name of "Stuff" and "Pointless" appear there as a choice


Yes, Ana, I noticed the same thing, but I thought it was just me!

Clearly a fresh bug there, too!


My glossaries have also disappeared. Obviously a bug.

Perhaps you will be wondering "why Inés thanks me." Thanks for bringing your views on this matter. Thanks as it is not common that a Moderator backs us up when we complain in a forum.

From time to time we can see some people adding aggressive comments or giving a "Disagree" as if they were the owners of truth and perhaps the Mods should be able to delete those comments.

Now, Henry has let us know it was a bug. Great!

Thank you, Steffen! You are brave!

Not at all, Dusty. I did appreciate your checking the FAQ, and it was not that clearly written, even for me (and I am the one who wrote it). Thanks always.

Well, at the end of the day, it all boils down to applying common sense when using the edit feature. As you will have probably noticed, KudoZ FAQ #8 was slightly modified and the lost features reinstated.

All the best,
Steffen
