No, it'll be turned off either by a phrase edit or disabling a template modifcation.

Is this an upcoming feature? Doesn't work for me in the current version, not even in the default style.
However, hopefully there will be a toggle to turn it off easily enough (or instructions what template modification to turn off). Not everyone wants this feature forced.

Next version. Sorry. Should have mentioned that.

Just a quick question @Daniel Hood...
Recently, both Conversation and Moderator Essentials have received updates, and it seems both of these updates were sponsored by someone.
I assume this means that someone paid you extra to develop these new features.
I hope this doesn't mean that you won't be adding new features to your add-ons on your own unless someone hires you to add them? Considering that the add-ons are already paid with yearly renewal fees.

You are correct that people paid for the new features in those releases. I am not stopping development unless people pay me, I am not holding development hostage demanding more funds. Basically when I decide to work on something, there are two factors that are considered: level of difficulty and the amount of money I expect it to lead to. This is the same way most companies and developers decide what avenues to persue. What this means is that when I look at the features suggested, I gauge demand and add the ones I think will make the most people happy and lead to the most new license sales.
The features that everyone else wants, may not be the same ones that @Alfa1 (in the case of this release) wants. He has a time table and really wants some features so he wanted to hire me to add the features. This is the same thing @Crazy-Achmet did. I could have built these things as different add ons and given them to them privately but I asked and they agreed (or they offered and I agreed, either way) to let me release them to everyone for a discounted rate. I feel this is a win win for everyone.
So in short, yes, these releases were sponsored additionally. No, you do not have to pay to get features added. It does help get a feature bumped up my priority list though.

Thanks, that does make sense.
Another question, what happened in the newest release (1.4.0), the location of the Mod Log Items changed in my moderator bar? I have other items there, and previously the order was:
Reports - Mod Log Items - Other Item - Second Other Item - Admin
But now after the update it is:
Reports - Other Item - Second Other Item - Mod Log Items - Admin
Is there an easy way to move it back next to Reports?

That's odd that it moved.. Mine as always been after the users (x) item though. Even before the newest release? To be honest, I'm not even sure how it would possibly be next to Reports. I can move it in front of Reports but moving it after Reports is not exactly an easy task.

Well, that's a small detail. I'll get used to the new location. Don't bother changing.
Just goes to prove that XF needs some sort of navigation manager, it's insane that a user can't easily change the order of menu items, it's such a basic feature. Should have been there from v 1.0!
Another thing...
What's the difference between the following permissions:
Edit post by anyone:
ModEss - Can Revert Message Edits:
Does this basically mean that I can have a moderator who can revert any member's message edits, but cannot edit the content of their posts otherwise (if Edit post by anyone is disabled and Can Revert Message Edits enabled)?

Assuming you keep post edit history, can revert message edits does this:
- A user makes a quality post -> week later they get in an argument with a staff member and decides to destroy all their content -> edits that quality post and changes it to "...".
This new feature allows your moderators to view the post -> click their name to bring up the overlay -> click "revert message edits" -> enter the date. That restores the quality post content.
This is slightly different from the way the admin panel one works because now your moderators can use it + they can attach a warning/warning points.

I simply cannot get this feature to work.
I've enabled the ModEss - Can Revert Message Edits permission for a moderator (a test account that I'm testing this with) and I cannot bring up any overlay, I do not see this option when I'm looking at a post that has been edited several times.
With my admin account I can see the edit history (the History link) and the multiple edits of the message.
Can you please show me with a screenshot how I can access the overlay?

OK it was there! Thanks!

I'm actually likely to move this to the user profile under the "Moderator Tools" menu. It's too big for the spot it's in right now.
markku

Yeah, I tried looking for it in there also but couldn't find. Seems like a natural place for it in there.
