Edit a post on Proboards

[mrsbutt]

When you edit a post, it asks if you want to put a reason in. But when you put the reason in, it doesn't show up after you click the post button.

Where does the reason go? Who can see it?

I don't really care, I'm just curious.

Also, PW so I can be a GD reg.

I tell the reason to fuck off.

But I'm curious about that field too. Especially after I read that all edited posts somehow were fed to a Mod's attention on TheDump. I could've misread that comment about Mod powers, but it made me think that edits become flagged as suspicious and the computer powers that be want someone human to know about the edit in case it's something creepy.

Edit to try the reason

yeah, I don't see the reason box on desktop, now that I'm looking for it.

Thanks for the info, guys! I was wondering what it was. Maybe it's only a mobile thing. I'm going to try and edit some posts on desktop.

WHOA.

I went to edit this post and for like a second the box for "Enter a reason (Optional)" came up but when the page finished loading, poof! Gone.

I'm on a desktop, BTW.

it's a little odd that I edit my own post (on mobile), pick my own reason (on mobile) and the reason appears as a "moderation note" on desktop view. I had assumed that those "moderation notes" were from actual board mods, making comments.

Oooh! I caught it real quick on the desktop before it disappeared. I don't know why it disappears though, because people used to be able to write an edit reason.

I just realized this. Proboards is fucking with us!
