Description
This is a script that will allow you to see edits on comments faster. Rather than clicking on the timestamp of comments, then go to the page and having to click on each edit log, this will let you click on each edit log and load that comment right on the page.I do not know why dA decided to make seeing the edit logs so complicated (I would guess to make the edits seem more "permanent"), but I think we can all agree that it's a pain in the ass. Well, this should make things easier.
Now, this script will only work in Greasemonkey (for Firefox) or Tampermonkey (for Chrome).
For Firefox users, simply load this page http://99.82.244.140/code/Faster_Edit_History.user.js and install the script. For Chrome users with Tampermonkey, you can go to the same link and Tampermonkey should install it.
I just updated this (6-15-2014 at 9:21pm EST) to do a while loop for all of the requests on each edited comment. It should run much faster (and not be so retardedly coded).
But, this seems to work pretty well, so enjoy

Hey, I found a minor big
before I made a forum topic, it worked fine
but after that, all the comments on my page had a edit history
when you click on the history, then my forum topic pops up

Can you link to the page this is happening on? It seems to work on the couple forum threads you made, for me at least.

Sorry to bother you but I ran into the bug again
Some images just so you don't think i'm going crazy haha
I was on gramaticalmurder 's page when this happened

Huh
Yeah I see that too. It seems that it's pulling those edits from somewhere else since the comments on that profile haven't been edited. Sorry, not sure why it's bugging out :/ It might have something to do with the #1 stuff, since dA recently made it so those don't turn into tag links. Although I have no idea why it would be messing up.

Ooh
It's hard to fix a bug if you don't know why it's happening - goodluck on fixing it (or you can just leave it alone xD)

I'm going to post a comment here and then edit it a few times so people can test the script! Comment 4

Haha go ahead. And I see you've already ran into the # issue

Damn stupid hashtags infecting the entire internet.

Yeah I've been getting around it by typing # but that's getting to be a pain… and to simply type that out, I had to write #

Apparently we have some crazy magic tag called BCODE now... #hashtag Yep, I guess that works, but that's even more characters to type.

Yeah :/ It looks like they want this stag stuff to really take off, so they're making sure it gets linked a fuckton.

I just wonder when/how we'll actually see the benefits of this 'improved' tagging system. I love the way the system automatically mangled several keywords together that occurred often.
Also, on the subject of bcode, comments.deviantart.com/1/4878…

I think people would be fine with tags if not for the fact that you can only tag things with one word. I had thought a deviation with keywords of "blue bird, nature, animal" would show up with a search of either of those words, but more if someone searched for "blue bird". But who knows the technical side of the conversion to tags
And I know of the bcode tag from chats (basically a combination also escaping <>), but had no idea it worked outside of the chats

I've said a whole bunch of stuff in the devBUG Skype chat.

Hah, well yes, I first tried the for loop you suggested, but oddly that didn't work. For some reason. It works on the url: array part, but oddly not on the :eq() part. Not sure why, since I can use eq(4) or whatever and that works, just not :eq(i'+i+')
Anyway, this version works, at least, but if you can give me code examples that make it better, I'm all for that
