Editing of Posts
Just wondered why mods can edit their posts without it showing up as an edit?

I think it is a feature of this board, BB. Dunno if it can be turned off?

Possibly can enforce the need to make a comment, I'd have to look. The behaviour is as default though.becchio bear wrote:Just wondered why mods can edit their posts without it showing up as an edit?

Editing of Posts
That would mean that the person editing would need to make some sort of amendment to show that they have edited a post. Quite often I have edited people's posts just to fix problems with quoting, but it is not obvious that I have done it - Adam is suggesting that he may be able to make it necessary for mods to say they have done it.

Cheers for that GW. The "tidying up" of quotes has been helpful in the past, I have had my problems in this regardGuildford White wrote:That would mean that the person editing would need to make some sort of amendment to show that they have edited a post.

Re: Editing of Posts
Ah I see.
That's probably just a knock-on effect from the facility to edit other people's posts I guess. It wouldn't be practical for the software to allow mods and admin to edit all other posts invisibly but not their own.

Re: Editing of Posts
I can't find a setting, I'll keep digging.
But as GW says, probably a knock on of being able to edit others posts.
