Title: Can You know if someone "cheated" on their livejournal?
Post by: RPGPundit on August 20, 2007, 02:04:15 PM
Ok, here's a question for all you technical genii out there. Let's say that I want to find out if someone edited out something from their Livejournal page, without commenting that they did so. Is there any way you can find the original version of their livejournal entry?

I'm no whiz kid, but as far as I know if I were to edit my LJ post they would not show or display that they had been edited in any way at all. At least not to you, my viewing public.

I can test it out if you'd like.

Added a single period after the end of the sentence, and as far as I can tell it in no way shows it was edited at all.

Yup even after I log out it shows nothing that says "Hey this post was edited."

EDIT: Forget it. It's really not worth it.

There's no good way to do it on LJ. Edits are transparent, unless it hangs around long enough to get on the internet archive or google cache or something.
