May 21, 200915 yr 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.
May 21, 200915 yr Author 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 !!
May 21, 200915 yr 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.
