Bug report: editing posts more than once overwrites previous edits

[tadaima]

I searched around but couldn't find this specific report nor a space for reporting bugs, so please feel free to move this thread/post to the right place if need be.

This has been bothering me recently, so I'm not sure if it is a bug that has popped up as a result of a recent update or just something I hadn't noticed before.

Due to being a terrible typist, I often edit my posts at least once after posting. The problem is editing more than once: should you do so, your former changes will be overwritten. The second edit is based on the original post, rather than of its first edit.

You can reproduce this by posting a reply, then editing your post with some added text, then editing it again with some further added text.

Reloading the page if you wish to edit your post resolves it. As does being a better proof-reader before posting.

There are no mods here, my friend. Just you, me, and the infinite void of eternal madness. You can report your post and ask to close it. :P

All done! Felt a bit weird reporting myself. I have learned to fear the ban hammer.

Thanks again, and I'll be back in your thread with updates soon! 😁
