Careful How You Edit Your Posts!

erikah (72) in esteem • 5 years ago

Today I'd like to point out a common mistake that many of you don't even know it's a mistake.

Many of you are editing your posts after being published for various reasons. This is fine, it is allowed and you have no choice if you see a mistake or want to add something. However, there's something you have to pay attention to in order to avoid complications.

If you're editing your post after being published, make sure to use the same dapp as the one you have published your post with. If you don't, the second dapp will overwrite the data and your post will appear as written with the second dapp. This wouldn't be a problem but many of you are counting on a curator upvote and you may not get one as the bot could not detect your post for the mentioned reason.

Three days ago eSteem Surfer 2.2 was released with new features.

Editing your post with another dapp can cause you to lose the sponsoring or boost you have paid for using your points and the curator upvote as well.

For me it does not matter to the fee if I have to edit my post to be correct. But your information is important to be noted. Thanks @erikah. Have a nice day.

I learned this the hard way. just recently joined steem about 6 months ago my third or fourth post I believe it was... I had authored the post originally in partiko, edited on either steemit or esteem.... I forget... But bottom line was the end result was a mess... Lol.

Wow, nice info!
I recently made a move to eSteem app.
Initially was started using the mobile version (android), it still has lots of bugs tho.
But, the desktop app (I use Mac) is far better.
Posting in Steemit will never be the same anymore!

Nowadays I don't use Steemit for blogging since many months.
I use either Busy.org or nowadays more often the eSteem Surfer desktop application.
I currently use the eSteem Surfer 2.2.0 on Windows 7 (32-bit).
The application is working good with the exception of being slow and laggy sometimes, but that is probably because I currently use an old (13 years old) laptop (Toshiba Satellite A110-110), and the performance of this laptop is probably not enough to properly run the application.
But it could be a software bug too. We will see it in the newer versions of the application.

I am using the desktop app and it's nothing wrong with the speed. Must be your laptop or the internet connection.

Thank you. This is very important to know. So, let say if you use esteemapp to post, then edit it later using steemit.com, will steemit.com erase the data of esteemapp on the post?

erikah (72) · 5 years ago

The content of the posts will stay the same except the modification you make, if course but the metadata regarding the app that was used changes. If you go to eSteem surfer, you can see which app the post was published with. If you edit the post using a different app, that is going to change and you'll see the second app you edited the post with.

In lates esteem post I see android download link is different, can you edit your post?

erikah (72) · 5 years ago

I can of course as edit button is working but I won't. I have the link that leads to all releases of which the last one is the actual one that should be downloaded. No reason to edit it. Esteem post has the link to the latest release. If I use that, I have to edit my footer each time a new release is live. Why would I do that?
