Title: Are mods notified when posts are edited?
Post by: finkleshnorts on July 15, 2012, 03:56:25 AM
I'm curious.

I edit my posts frequently for grammatical mistakes, parallelisms, and clarity.

Is this annoying/discouraged/suspicious? (speaking of parallelisms...)

Thanks,

OCD bob

Nope, we're not notified unless you press the 'Report to moderator'.

Thanks. This has been nagging me since my first post.

If you use a theme other than the default theme, you can see a note under all edited threads that says they were edited.

Did not know. That is worth the switch to SMF default. thanks

Be aware that the other themes aren't supported. They're missing features and some things might be broken.

I just added last edit info to the Bitcoin theme. Hover your cursor over the post time.

Edits aren't recorded when they occur within 5 minutes of the post time. (This has always been the case.)

Excellent excellent excellent. This is very useful. For anyone that can't see the difference, what is shown is a dotted underline under the post time if there has been an edit. When you hover over it, it changes the cursor to a question mark pointer and shows you the last edited time.

Thanks again, theymos. Great way of implementing this feature unobtrusively.
