Update: Now on the mobile browsers you should see this:

The old post below this line

Nowadays more and more people are accessing the forum trough mobile devices but the site has no mobile version yet and some features are inaccessible, like the "Last edit" of a post.
There are some ways to get that info like looking through the source code, installing 3rd party software, or calling Jesus* but all those are really inconvenient.

So our short request is to add the "Last edit" info as a text instead of a rollover.

Something like this:

*See the suggestions in the comments.


My original old post below this line.

Didn't find anything searching the forum about this issue.
Is there any way to see the date and time when a post is modified, while I'm on my mobile?
I see the dots under the post time and date, but that's all :(


Done! :)

Can you change the view on your mobile from App mode to Desktop Mode ?

This should be work to see it ! But dont know exactly bro .

Probably not. AFAIK, there is no way to "hover" the text, which is what you need to do to see it.

My hover on touchscreens, and it seems by default, is to press, hold and swipe slightly so as to not be inferred as a tap but a hover. It’s a bit advanced though.

Doesn’t work every time either, enjoy!

I can't manage to do this on my iPhone (IOS 12).

What is your phone? Android or IOS?

It works on my iPad. I haven’t tried it on my android phone yet...

It’s the thing where you can pick stuff up as an image?

Unless I’ve just got it wrong but:

Hover is the same thing as mouse_over event.

There are some apps that allow you to do so, which I don't recommend (obviously for security reasons).

If you really want to know when the post was edited, I recommend to open the page's source code, it is safer and easier.
Here is an exemple:

That's what we are talking about:

Please edit the OP so people can easily play with the edited mouseover.  :)

Obviously, you can't do that in mobile mode, there's even no existing browser in mobile that can view the site's source code as well.

The hover thing will not appear in mobile since it's only a title attribute and it has default function as tooltip same as hover. If theymos will do some jquery/css design modifications then it will show in mobile as well which I guess he will not.

Yes you can, of you're currently using chrome app then you you should be able to switvh on desktop mode.
On the upper right side, you will see the Three Dots, Click it and a Drop Down Menu will show up, Drag down and you will see Desktop Site Checkbox.

But still I dont think that the hover function will now be enable after you've done this.

Edited: I tried enabling my pointer on android using developer options and it seems not working, I also tried downloading an app but it doesnt work as well, The same with having the desktop site enabled

But it still not showing, coz the forum looks the same whether you use a mobile device in desktop mode or not and in desktop devices.

No, you can using chrome at least:
Just add:
view-source:
before the link in chrome navigation bar

On Android:

Go to Settings -> Accesibility. Turn Select to Speak ON. A new icon will appear in bottom right corner of the screen:

Tap the Jesus, then select the dotted date (just the first few letters should be enough) and it will read "Last edit...". And I mean IT WILL LITERALLY READ IT ALOUD, HOW COOL IS THAT?  ;D

Edit: as bL4nkcode mentioned below, there might be variations in how these settings work, perhaps depending on Android version / vendor etc. The above is from Lenovo 8.0. Under Accesibility you can also set up a shortcut so that holding volume buttons for 3 seconds turns this on/off.

Didn't know something like that, Pretty cool. But the thing is, after I enable that Select To Speak, it doesn't read and talk about the last edited, hence it only just read the date when the post was created.

I was wrong. It really is reading when it was last edited. (Just Tried to edit my post and used that Jesus thing). And this proves that you can also count on Jesus even on android problems :D

Ah, okay my bad, it works but it will give you a headache first to find the exact thing using mobile, and you have to use the Find in page to do it, and not all people loves to see the source code since it's too complicated.

I have to on the talkback and turn to speak feature for this but it really works.  :D

So the only option I found til now is playing with the source code :

Searching for class="edited" shows all the edited comments in the page.

This is the only * method working without additional apps on my Android phone with Chrome mobile browser.

Tried holding+sliding, tapping with 2 fingers, the Desktop mode...
*- see below :D

This actually did work. I guess this is the easiest way til now.:)
If you have Huawei the Jesus version is called Select-to-speak.

As someone else has said it doesn't look like it can actually be done. That's my tip for hovering over links at least.

Ask theymos to add a nice little button in php. ;D

This is actually a good idea, of course if he can find some time for it. I'm sure I'm not the only one using the forum from a mobile device and this issue will bother other people to, so until we wait for the new forum software this can be a good solution.

New forum software? It wouldn't surprise me if they've stopped trying to develop it or if it's just theymos on his own stuff this point.

I generally access the forum on my phone quite a bit it would be nice to see if this was added but I'm not sure how much I'd use it. Maybe even not a button but something that says.

I've changed the OP according your suggestion, let's see what will happen :)
Hope we can get this one implemented. Seems like theymos was busy fixing the trust scores the past weeksa after the account recovery fix, which is great, so there is a hope for this one too :)

I think its way better if we have both.
Something like this:
Then if it has been edited it will show this:

I like it theymos!

Seems a little broken? They all have times of 0 I guess you’ve noticed this though.

Congrats,
You can see when a post was edited now  ;D
Edit: still buggy  ???

not yet

I added it for mobile devices only using CSS media queries, but it seems to only work on the very newest browsers.


Does it still do that? I never saw that.

Looking fine on the latest version of Safari with iOS 12.

Which post shows that?

All posts

With which browser? Android or iOS?

All posts are showing the right edit time/author on my end (Safari, iOS 12).

All of them

iOS chrome

Found & fixed it now, thanks.

I tested it with chrome and default browser under Android.
Edit: fixed

Thanks theymos, it’s working now.

Do i remove the image or leave it for reference?

Edited 2020-11-30 to fix a broken image

Good change though, thank you and thanks to OP.

Hell yeah, it's really nice to have and see both not only the Last Edited :)
And Now, none of the full time spam editors can make their escape out of their shitloads to avoid being red tagged and banned. This works really especially on those who have committed plagiarism on last years.

Thank you Theymos for the quick reaction! l just love this forum!! :)



I guess you are talking about edit history with a list with all the previous edits. It's better to have them as a link next to the last edited and opening in a pop-up window because the list can be quite long.
For example my Comprehensive guide to Bitcointalk. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2534500.0) has been edited many-many times and the list will be quite long. Imagine if those 30-40 edits listed, it will look like the Merit & new rank requirements (http://Merit & new rank requirements) thread with all those received merit.

Another suggestion has come into your mind :) Thanks to me hahaha.
But I think its quite alright if we just have the last one, for I have seen some user talk about the post getting seen before ot was edited.
Or am I just mistaken the deleted posts can still be retrieved? Something like that...

I don't know why you'd want a list of everu edit either.
Posted and last edited suit just fine for me.

Otherwise we'll become GitHub ;D.

Me, personally have no use for the edit history, but tried to clarify and improve what cabalism13 was suggesting.
I don't really see any use of it at all. No need to put more load on the servers, we already gave enough ;)

Is it just me or the Last Edited isnt working again?

I tried editing my post a minute ago and it doesnt says that it has been edited. It only shows the date posted AGAIN.

Edited: For Testing

Edited Again: Proven It Doesnt Work Again but it leaves the proof that it worked lately...

Third Time Editing...

I edited the OP, it's working with me.
If you post and then edit the post withing 5 min. there is no "edit" indication. It's like a 5 min cool down time before it starts recording the edits.

I guess there is a minimum minutes when the "Last edited" shows, something 10-20 minutes or so after you made the post...

Nope. Try to post a New comment Here. Then try to edit it again. It will not work.


Let's see about that, but lately its working after you edit it.

Yes, correct. If I remember correctly LoyceV tested the actual cool down time and it was about 5-7 min I don't remember the actual numbers.



As we said before, you need to wait at least 5 min for the cool down time and then the edit indication will appear.

Try to edit some of your non-edited post last day or hours ago I'm sure it will show the edited date...

This is my edited post:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5095425.msg49152883#msg49152883

I just made an edit on it after I post it because of mispelled acroos and I changed it to "across"

And the time now is: (just look on the time that I posted this) I tried to refresh the page and even closed my browser and open it again. But nothing shows off.

Try to edit it now and let's see what happens.

All the edits in the first 5 mints are not recorded (at least for us, maybe for the mods they are) so no matter how long you gonna wait if the edit was not saved after the cool down time, it won't be shown, .. ever!

I just edited my post above and it works https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5094850.msg49153066#msg49153066

Still the same... Nothing appears to be edited.

https://i.imgur.com/5wSeXXC.jpg

Tried to edit the comment on page 3... And it appeared. The Time Lapse is 25minutes after the original post  created before it appears.

No I'm referring the other one

https://i.imgur.com/eGeNlxqh.jpg

I guess 25 minutes is way too long, base on last edited post of mine it appears as early as 14 minutes or so, and the edited date shows.

I  Think this calls for additional suggestion to theymos, its way better if it will appear after the post was edited. And doesnt have any time lapses. As for I have done earlier the edits that I've made inside the time lapse wasnt counted. Means it will only appeared edited when the users make a change on his post after the 15 minutes gap or so on.
 Just like what I have done on my post :

I edited this but it doesnt appeared to be one.

I assume it's 10 minutes.

I noticed today, cool thing indeed. But why only on mobile? I use the comp at the most of times for commenting. Agree, big screen is more useful and comfortable for eyes, so why to not move it on the wide screen as well?! :)

Because you can actually hover the time label on the PC, so it's useless.

The only reason this exists on mobile is that you couldn't ever see it without having to check the page source code.
