Nebthtet Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Is there any way of an easy reverting post edits as an administrator? We had a malicious user edit a lot of his post by removing content and changing it to ".". Of course I've removed his access and turned off ability of post edition after some time for usergroups on the forums but cleaning up after him took time and I'd like to know if there's an option do do it easy and quick. It's said on the feature tour here that "In the case of edits, previous versions of content can reinstanted at the click of a button." - so please tell me how to do that in case of posts. I have edit logging turned on of course . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optic14 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 You can click “view edit history” next to the edit date but it only shows an overlay of all the versions. I haven’t seen an option to switch between the versions.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebthtet Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Yeah, that I do know but I hoped for an easy way to revert potential vandalism . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t let it happen in the first place by limiting the edit time. Every forum will have such users sooner or later. But I agree to the feature request. If the versions can be shown already, a button next to it “revert to this version” would be an expected and useful feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
