delay before 'post edited' appears


Recommended Posts

this is a small thing but it sorta bugs me

ive always felt there should be a delay between when you submit a post and when it will be flagged if you edited it. idk what it was in the last version, but it seemed to be at least 60 seconds. whatever it was, it seemed like the right amount

posters should have an opportunity to correct typos or rewrite small sections to clarify their thoughts. sometimes you dont state things as well the first time through and its nice to be able to edit/correct them without an indicator that says youve edited it

I think it's because you're a staff member - You're able to see all edits.

Speaking of editing posts, I had one to edit today and while in edit mode, I was researching so I could add to it and this took less than 10 minutes, but I was warned that it was too late to edit. Can we extend the time to edit out to an hour?

imo, you should be able to edit posts indefinitely

there should be a ten minute delay until a message appears saying the post has been edited

explain to me what harm comes from indefinite editing versus the benefits

Ive been asking for this for a long tome.......  sometimes i decide I want to make my posts shorter.  I dont think folks would mind.  :)

Anyhow Meat, here's a bump, maybe you cam ask again?

lit does what he feels like doing. thats ok but apparently this isnt on his preferred list of efforts

I checked.

There isn’t a setting to turn the “edited by” off.

I would have to custom code something, which is fine, but just haven’t had the dime to do it.

meh

if youre going to spend time coding something, forget about the edit delay. we can live with that

its probably complicated, but my first choice would be to fix the topics buttons at the top of the forum. that was awesome when they worked

fortunately we arent getting any complaints bc ppl know its just broken. but i think its tamping down on some people participating

And we need a tag for site related posts and please, let's get the emoticon reactions to make sense. Like, Love, Funny Disagree, Trump for whatever reason, and Barf. The rainbow, and the finger are just stupid

Site related posts don’t need a tag because they go in this forum alone.

I thought of that after I posted but the emoticons can be updated for sure

Ok, being you got Lit to finally reply about it, I was hopeful.  But he replied about the 2nd sentence(the only one I didnt care about), so I have crossed it out this time, because it doesn't concern what I am asking for: the ability to edit for over an hour...so I dont have to ask you to do it for me.  I'd like to edit the super long  thread title of mine(covid-usa), for example.

I dont know that the delay is, and I do not mind if it says edited by.  Actually, leaving the "edited by" on makes sense and I wouldn't want it off.

Meat, can you simply ask him to remove the ban on editing a post after 1 hour?  You get answers/results.   You were SO close!!   Thanks
