When did the "last edited" notation become a feature? I am not opposed to it, just noticing it is new.

I am a person who frequently edits. I re-read my posts several times and really try to get the spelling and grammar (huge weaknesses) correct. Since you all have seen the end results, my now admitting that makes me look really stupid. :/ I also am not the greatest communicator. I often read what I wrote, sometime later, and say "Hey that is not what I meant to say or how I meant to say it".

So if you notice a lot of "edit" notations to my posts, it is not that I am trying to change content after the fact for the wrong reasons. :/

Today, I think. Not opposed, not thrilled. Could be the basis for problems down the road, but we'll see.

you could always edit, so what's the problem?

I use the preview feature, but if I haven't saved what I've written somewhere on a long one, I get worried that I'll mess up and lose it all. So I post to make sure I don't lose it, then edit it.

I also frequently post, then discover a typo and fix it.

I'm on the fence about this feature.

Personally, I'd prefer that it not appear if the edits occur the same day and/or prior to any additional posts.

Although what I'd REALLY like is the FaceBook version where you can see the prior version of a post. But I realize that would require a lot of coding and way more database space.

Thought a couple months back the system was changed to allow edits only for 12 hours?

Isn't that what Ahigh was complaining about? Wanting to be able to go back whenever and edit a post?

Doesn't the 12 hour rule make the notification of "last edited by" a moot point?

I wouldn't sell yourself short, KJ. You're an excellent communicator because you review what you write to make sure it says exactly what you mean to say. I hope this doesn't mean you will be reluctant to post in the future. I always enjoy your posts, especially those that provide an honest look into an AP's life.

The thing is, I really don't see what the new feature accomplishes. We can only edit for a 2412-hr period, right? The edit notation doesn't even show the time of the last edit, so the edit date will usually match the post date. Is this helpful?

From what I see, most folks around here don't change the content of what they wrote, and if they do, they note in their post what info changed and add their own 'Edit' notation. Besides, don't those folks who change the content of their posts clandestinely usually get called on it without the assistance of an 'Edit Tattletale?' Or am I just naive about such things?

[Edit] -- I think Wellwellwell is right, it's 12-hr, not 24-hr edit window.
I also wanted to see that new-fangled edit thingie at the bottom of my post! :P

For shits any giggles, I just edited a post that was 6 YEARS old.

Interestingly, I noticed that I had edited it that day as well.

Yep, the 12 hour window seems intact.
The notification that now appears doesn't bother me,
Don't think it adds much either....
It could be pointed out that someone asked for it, and bam there it is.
That says a lot about intent on the part the site owners....

Just for the record, and some of you may have noticed, OK probably all of you noticed, I need a much longer edit/delete window.....;-)

I am hesitant to make a formal request, but my (one of my) New Years wish(es) is a much longer timeframe in which to 'change your mind'...
Or I need me one of those special keyboards that was supplied to MickeyC.

Hmm... it appears that I can also edit any/all of my previous posts, regardless of age.

So, does the new "Last Edited" feature replace/rescend the 12-hour rule? I may have to re-think my position on this now.

Ahhhh...
I was just thinking, and yes I have to do that in small increments so I don't hurt myself, the new feature is much more important on the older posts....
Let me start over.
When the window of opportunity for editing changed, and was announced a few weeks ago, the older posts fell into one category while any new posts (after the announcement) fell into another category. Sort of like AC/DC, or more appropriately BC/AD on a timeline. Sooooo, the fact that you edited a post you made 10 minutes ago because you are a bad speller/typer is not significant. But when the system shows that today you edited 14 posts from 2012, all on the discussion bout the suspension list thread which was alive/rampant with discussion about member 'xxx', you fill in the blank, now that says something.

It says you prolly weren't correcting typos.
Maybe you were trying to re-write history.

Full disclosure, I am the one that recommended the change. I mentioned it in a post and Zuga had it added. Maybe he thought it was a good idea or maybe it was not a big deal so he just added it.

Another FYI, you have been able to edit all posts for quite a while now (ETA: I just realized that only older posts can still be edited, the new posts fall under the rule).

Why would this be a big enough deal for any discussion is my question? So what if it puts a line down that says it was edited. It's not like it tells anyone what was edited, but it does serve a purpose.

We had a thread a few weeks ago that a newish member made some horrible remarks. After a few people got annoyed or upset over the remarks he went and edited all of his posts so there was no evidence of the writing. If that were to happen now we would be able to see at least that the posts were edited. Not that it shows what was said but it at least gives a clue why there may have been outrage to a seemingly innocent post.

We all have our own opinions to everything in life. Some like to express them and some like to just go with the flow. If someone prefers to post less because of this simple feature that causes no harm then so be it. I for one am all for it, but I am just a guest here and try to abide by the rules of the owners.

(ETA, when I suggested the line be added I thought all posts were now allowed to be edited because I had seen the edit button on an old post. I didn't realize that the old ones were able to but the new ones were not. If I would have noticed that I probably wouldn't have requested the change but I still don't find it to be a big deal.)

And yes, it shows you edited your post GWAE, which means nothing to me today.
I have printed out all your posts from 2012, have them scanned, sorted, and filed.
If you try to change them now I may bust you, or ask for a small contribution to my most favorite charity which is of course me. (Joke, pls ..;-)

Doesn't at all mean I will be reluctant to post in the future....sorry about that. :) I said, I am not opposed to the feature. Most of my edits are for the right reason, either spelling grammar, or just because I didn't feel I said something in the manner that I wanted to get it across. And most of those type occur within minutes of the original post.

Occasionally, I do post something and then edit a day or so later. Usually the reason for this is not grammar/spelling but rather I posted something, maybe too much detail, and wake up the next day and think. I can't post that....too much detail. Might have negative consequences.

Thank you for the kind words to start your post.

You can no longer edit 'a day or two' later, at least not at the moment, though the world is always dynamic. The rule at the moment is, I think, 12 hours. If you pass out for 14 hours, not you KJ I'm speaking generally, then you are SOL.
That statement assumes I have been keeping up with, and continue to follow, the rules.
Of course the rules change occasionally, and they are always open for interpretation.
Should you decide to say that you 'hate' even the small amount of ground that I stand on, I'm pretty sure you can delete that, but if you want to delete that, you need to get off the couch and do it soon...
All that is my own interpretation of course, and I am not an attorney. .. ;-)

At least a third of my posts at videopoker.com have an edit stamp. Any edit regardless of time frame gets a stamp there.

Looks like Zuga added a 15-minute delay on the time stamp, which is much better, imo.
