Noticed earlier, that it now appears that if a post is edited within a certain time of it originally being posted, it no longer shows as "edited" if you get what I mean?

Has this been changed or has it always been like this?

Just wondering....

Hmm, must be a 5 min window where a post can be altered as I've just added a full stop to the one above and now it shows as edited..

I think it only shows as edited if there has been a subsequent post on the same thread. If you edit it before anyone has followed your post then it doesn't show as edited

Exactly this in my experience. You can re edit with no foot note until another post is added to the thread. :thumbsup:
