chasz Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 that way people can have a backup copy of their posts !! It should be set OFF by default and allow admins and mods to turn on per forum and per post !! ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teraßyte Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 And then everyone will enable it and their DB will grown infinitely in size because people won't read the notice that the option uses a lot of DB space :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rct2·com Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 If the only purpose it serves is to have a backup, then I don't see the point. Will it be in the same database as the main board, so that when I run my daily backup, it will be twice the size it normally is and take twice as long to produce? There already is a 2-phase 'trash can' capability so that topics/posts that are deleted aren't really deleted, they are moved to another forum.

chasz Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 well then dont turn it on !! OMG !! Allow others who might need it to have 5 revisions MAX and they have to be manually enabled, per forum and then per topic from the end-user !! so the important topics are stored in one table which should be backed up rather than the whole database OMG ! OMG OMG OMG !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Many people who shouldn't turn it on, will. It's too much of a support issue for IPS. Sorry, but despite your own personal perceived need of this, it's not likely to happen at any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
