When you go back and edit a thread, if somebody has already read it, will it appear highlighted to signify to a member that something has changed?

No, and that's a ploy that's been used by some of the forum's more ridiculous members in the past.

No.
Nice idea, but I can only imagine the amount of programming that would require.

Your reply has gone over my head. I did not mean to insinuate that I wanted to accomplish some devious change of forum protocol.

Probably not as much as you'd think.
While I certainly don't know the code that runs this forum, each user has our own unique view, i.e. if I've viewed a thread and then look again at the title before someone else has posted it appears as regular (non-bold) text, if you see the title at the exact same time but have not looked at the thread itself the title will appear bold to you.
So then, whatever mechanism that is being employed to have this effect only needs to additionally take into account the last time a post was modified as well. More than likely the timestamp of the last edit is already being stored in the database so to add the aforementioned logic would probably only take a line of code or two.
