Bug ID: 63696

You can display a particular revision of a post in Flow, e.g. in topic actions,
choose History, then click the timestamp under a post activity.

There are several glitches with this.
* Three horizontal lines at top is overkill:
<Topic title>
--------------------------------------------
This topic was started on <Flow board>
--------------------------------------------
This is a permanent link to the first version of this post. You can view
later versions on the post history page.
--------------------------------------------
* It's not clear you're only viewing one post from the topic.
* It shouldn't say "You can view later versions on the post history page" if
the first version is the only version.
* If you choose Permalink from the revision's action menu, you get a link to
latest revision, not this one (which you're already viewing)
* If you Hide are you hiding just this version? I tried it and got a pink API
error box, the 500 response contains
PHP fatal error in
/usr/local/apache/common-local/php-1.23wmf21/extensions/Flow/includes/WorkflowLoader.php
line 107: <br/>
Argument 1 passed to Flow\WorkflowLoader::loadWorkflow() must be an
instance of Title, boolean given, called in
/usr/local/apache/common-local/php-1.23wmf21/extensions/Flow/includes/WorkflowLoader.php
on line 85 and defined
* Suppressing the particular version you see might make sense, I don't know if
it does that.
* It has Reply • Edit • Thank.
- Reply doesn't make sense, you don't want to reply to an old version that
says "X is Y" when the latest version says "X is ABC".
- Edit goes and edits the latest version, which is a little confusing.
- I don't think Thanks generates a link to the version for which you're
thanking.
If you are viewing the latest version of a post these could all be enabled, but
it's still confusing, and how would the Thanks extension know when this is the
case?
We should spec out what you should be able to do when viewing an older version
of a post. Reducing or eliminating Action menu and flow-post-action menu items
would reduce the scope for these errors.
