Are there any EEVblog server app you'd like to see installed?

What sort of problems? I have never encountered anything weird until two days ago.
Most of the time I probably only upload one attachment, but it certainly can be two or three sometimes and my record is eleven.

For a while the 1st attachment was somehow appearing in other posts one made like it was still somewhere in the system and linked to you and came out when you made a subsequent post.
Darn annoying it was as you always had to edit posts to delete it and for some time the only workaround was not to use the first attachment. Bit me a few times so just skipped the first attachment and all was well.
In the new UI it seems a warning is issued that an unused attachment is available and you have options of what you can do with it. That's a great improvement but unfortunately the rest of the new UI is so busted we can't really use it until it's somewhat improved.
However, thumbs up to Dave for giving us the change to try it and maybe know what's coming once its bugs are sorted.

This also applies to posts where more time is required to dick around with image insertion.
I quite often make a post then realise afterwards that something was wrong so rather than be cursed for all of eternity with a last edit notice I simply quote the post then edit it and post again, I then remove the prior post and hope that nobody else has had time to quote it.
Some may not be aware that when you make a post there is a short time window in which you can modify and edit the post without incurring the last edit notice, I don't know how long it is exactly, ten seconds or so at a guess.

Thanks as always for cheering us up. :-+
30s at least as I often notice something needing correction and generally can do it without raising the edited flag. :phew:

I didn't think there was a time. I thought the edit flag only appeared, if someone saw the post before you edited it. This is based on the fact that sometimes it appears I can spend a while editing, where as others, it appears immediately. If so, that makes sense and it shouldn't be changed.

Yes, maybe it does work like that IDK but when flagged as edited, a post also gets reflagged as New even though you may have already read it.
Edit to check the editor works as mentioned in reply #140

Valid suggestion, but, I don't really care if the notice is there or not when reading posts.
I suspect most don't?
edit: you could probably write a script to strip it, if you really wanted.
ataradov:
I do try to fix typos fast to avoid this message, but it is really not a big deal. Also I was under the assumption that it is not time based, but based on whether message was seen by someone else since the original post.
Also, am I really the only one with the quote button broken?
Test Edit.
Also, if I press the quick edit button, I see inline editor, but when I press "Save" it just discards the edit and throws me to the beginning of the thread. Normal "Modify" of the post works fine. Is this a server synchronization issue of some sort?
