How to find the - Last edit time of any post.

[Heutenamos]

I know many of the users might already know but for newbies and even some old members, its a problem.

Below is the explained guide by me on how to find last edit time of any post.

Take your cursor to the post showing time.



will show like this



Now a pop up will appear showing the last edit time of that particular post

Non edited posts wont open that pop-up.

Thanks for sharing! It is useful to check an unedited Bitcoin address, from which we can sign a message to prove the ownership of the accounts !

There won't be any dotted line if the edit was within 10 minutes after posting.

I think you should move this to Beginners & Help and please change your title if you are doing so. Or else, your thread most probably will be hijacked by spammers.

Thanks for that post. it seems small but I always wondered where to find this info and always later forgot to look for it. I was used to seeing text on the bottom of the posts: Last time edited... etc.

I don't think so! Except that someone quoted that post before it is edited.

The best way to avoid being hijacked by spammers is to lock this thread. If anyone is interested to this topic, they can search or watch it for later reference.

I'm not sure how Facebook goes about showing edited posts (I very rarely go there) but, for the most part, you're right - users here can't usually see what has been edited in/out of a post (and in fact, as Muhammed Zakir pointed out, you won't even know a post was edited, if it occurred within 10 minutes of posting).

However, I think there are a few exceptions to this: I believe Admins might be able to access this information (I'm not sure if there are time limitations to this, but if you're dealing with a scam, it's probably worth the shot to contact them); and some previous versions of posts are often kept in https://bitcointa.lk (just replace the "bitcointalk.org" in a thread's URL with "bitcointa.lk", to access the corresponding thread) - as an example, compare theymos' post in the two following links:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0
https://bitcointa.lk/index.php?topic=497545.0 - should lead to: https://bitcointa.lk/threads/recovering-hacked-accounts.272883

Is this true statement? I thought every edit with no limitation to time shows up like this.

it's true (just saying in case you don't believe MZ).

and you can try it yourself by posting and editing a message multiple times before 10 minutes passed.

Triple confirmed. (just saying in case you don't believe MZ AND Encrypted)*

* I edited this post to add this part. See?


Might need to move it to Beginners & Help board, as it is more appropriate place that Meta.
K, that has been pointed out too..

Seems like this must not work on all browsers/OS's.  I just tried it on firefox on debian and again in chromium and I didn't get the pop-up in either browser.

Debian 8 w/ iceweasel 31.8.0 shows the popup,
Debian 8 w/ Chromium 44.0.2.24... shows it,
Ubuntu 14.04. LTS Desktop w/ Firefox 41.0 shows it.
The "arrow" looks a bit odd like a questionmark on all systems.

I dunno, I'm using iceweasel on debian 8 and I'm not seeing it.  Maybe I'm doing it wrong.  Maybe it's my settings?!

I dont know, debian is odd sometimes. E.g. Debian 8 is 10° hoter than 7 on the same machine. No idea why.
