+the_bell_dingers Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 When I finish my Quick edit, my options are complete edit or Cancel Edit. I think the Complete edit name is more or less confusing. I think it's easily mistaken for full edit. the name should be changed to "Finish Edit". anyone agree?
+Knight2000 Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Complete and finish are synonyms. Personally I have never found it confusing. This is a joke post, right?
Keystone Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 The Groundspeak Forums use the Invision Power Board forum software -- at least until a planned migration to the Community Server platform. I would not expect developer time to be devoted to tweaks in the "out of the box" software. You may, however, wish to post your suggestion in the vendor's forums.
Motorcycle_Mama Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Huh? "Complete Edit" makes perfect sense to me. The first definition of the verb "complete" is typically "to bring to a finish".
+the_bell_dingers Posted September 14, 2009 Author Posted September 14, 2009 but also complete means FULL
+Arrow42 Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 but also complete means FULL It's called "context". It's important in understanding much English dialog.

+ArcherDragoon Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 (edited) I hate the english language. too many rules... Obviously... Edit: Sorry, had to post something to see what was being said... . . . That being said..."Obviously" was on obvious joke...right?!?!?! Edited September 18, 2009 by ArcherDragoon
Motorcycle_Mama Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 I hate the english language. too many rules... Try a different one then, maybe?
+Shop99er Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 This is a joke post, right? Somehow, I don't think so...
+BlueDeuce Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 This is a joke post, right? I am a jelly doughnut. That's a joke post. Learn the difference people.
+cmdrblop Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 Lots of buttons and features are poorly labeled in the forums. I just clicked a button labeled "Add reply" to reply to a thread, and then to submit the reply I need to click a different button labeled... "Add reply". Which suggests that the 2nd button will do the same thing the first button did: show a text field so I can compose a reply. And don't get me started on the use of the non-word "Goto" in the interface. But I don't know whether Groundspeak can change this text. This is an off-the-shelf bulletin board system.
GOF and Bacall Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 Once you have it figured out it is no longer a problem. The Groundspeak Forums use the Invision Power Board forum software -- at least until a planned migration to the Community Server platform. I would not expect developer time to be devoted to tweaks in the "out of the box" software. You may, however, wish to post your suggestion in the vendor's forums. Any idea what the rough time frame might be?
+sTeamTraen Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 After several million posts in this forum, I would be surprised if this turned out to be a major issue causing serious customer dissatisfaction and loss of revenue for Groundspeak. However, if we're looking for synonyms for "Complete", I'd suggest "Terminate". For some reason, that word popped into my mind while reading the OP. I have no idea why.
