My personal biggest pet peeve is not being able to revert (accidental) edits, where I write my new turn over my previous one. I recently found out the software supports it, but that privilege is only extended to mods…
It’s true that a lot of the “features” obstruct play-by-post and some other uses we frequently need. I have been meaning for a couple years to try my hand at creating a web interface for PbF. Perhaps one day™
FYI, you can access a previous post’s raw data that you can no longer edit (or wasn’t your post in the first place), by navigating to https://forums.sirlingames.com/raw/#topicId/#threadPostIndex, like this. I can’t find such a way to access the raw post data of a previous revision, so I have submitted a feature request.
