Description

Hi, please do not be angry if something isn't ok (mean describing), but this is my first "bug" which i would like to resolve.

So when i writing a text in TinyMCE, save it and do some other work, which i have already forget.
But later on i edit that post and sometimes shows me a dialog : "There is an autosave of this post that is more recent than the version below. <a href=\"%s\">View the autosave</a> " .

More picture in the CZECH Version.
http://www.imageupload.org/

What we should do ???
I know exactly what does it mean, but please just add a cross at the end of the line, because there is no way, how to hide it. The user can hide it, and work on it later (mean to look for the problem).

Please this should be just some lines of code, so we can get it in the 3.2 version. It should be very fast.

Change History (10)

  • Keywords ux-feedback added; early 3.2 removed

I think we should concentrate on fixing the cause of the problem: #15130

You can simply re-save the post and the message will go away, In my opinion, thats an adequate solution as it's there for a reason, saving the post will result in you overwriting previous changes.

  • Keywords 2nd-opinion added
  • Milestone set to Awaiting Review

Actually, I kinda like this -- a simple JS-only Dismiss link that kills the element would be a nice touch. It can indeed get annoying when you're working on a revision for quite a while and you know it's a bogus message.

Maybe it's just power-user though, and that #15130 handles most of the truly bogus messages, rather than "I know for a fact that Mandy isn't editing this post."

Re-opening for some UX feedback.

Replying to nacin:

If it's a bogus message we should fix that bug not create a work around.

To me this isn't something we need to consider for now - the message isn't persistent and is informational.

People, we dont help each other, if we set "maybelater".
It's also possible that we will never fix it.
Here are some good article : second example of http://api.jquery.com/hide/
