I don't think it's any different for mods Rob Now Let's see. Nope - I can't get rid of it either. Last edited by jamanda on Thu Nov 05, 09 10:17 pm; edited 2 times in total

It isn't. If I edit someone elses post, there is no 'edited by' comment, but if I edit my own, there always is. I can't choose whether or not this appears.

That's right, I'd like to either know when posts have been edited or be able to edit them without the edited by bit tagged on.

That's interesting - I didn;t know that/hadn't noticed.

I don't mind if my own posts show that I've edited them. If I remember, I might even add 'ETA : whatever....' just to show what the extra bit of info is.

I've been into a couple of other people's posts recently to add them to the recipe database, where you have to provide a subject heading for the database to accept the recipe. If the post being recipied isn;t the first post in the thread, it prolly won't already have a subject heading, so I've given it the name of the recipe as an edit.
I'm quite glad that kind of editing doesn't show up as an edit, otherwise the original poster might wonder whether someone had changed their actual recipe.

I think if its possible to switch on edited notifications if a mod edits someone elses post thats a good idea but it might not be possible, I don't know how good the software is

I would rather it went that way than we lost edit notifications as for context sake it can be useful to know if something was edited

It seems to work different on different forums, so I think it is possible.
Might not be possible on whichever software this one is running of course.

Can you give us an example of another forum which does it so we can find out if they use the same software and maybe ask how to do it?

Our forum here uses a customised version of phpbb2 - there won't be a direct comparison with any other forum. A.

A.

No but if another forum using phpbb2 can get the functionality then it shows its worth a look and might point those of you who actually look at the back end where to look

I will look into this with a view to a possible software tweak - but can't say when I'll get to it. A.
