Default Edit notifacation

I think this should have notifaction if a post has been edited in a thread. I want to avoid double posts and so does everyone else but if you just edit no one will look at it because no new post has been made. I mean maybe only if the last post has been edited. Is there any way to fix this? If not I can deal but it would be a nice addition.

I don't know nearly enough about this sort of stuff to say if it is possible. However, in the meantime, just make a double-post anyway. Maybe include a little OOC note apologizing for the double-post and try not to make a habit out of it.

Or you can post in the OOC saying that you edited your post.

But I know that I have double-posted before and it's no big deal.

EDIT: Oh yeah. The other trick is to include a big shiny edit sign so that it might catch their attention while they're scrolling down the page.

Maybe it;s because I am a mod, but there is a thing that says "last edited by xxxx, n hours ago"

See below LovelyHues signature.

well yes, but it doesn't show if you just glance at the thread. I would not normally look at a thread that I have already seen and read if nothing new showed up. The small note is in the bottom of the actual post at least of me. I don't know about mods.

You could always delete your first post, then repost again, with the editing, people would look at it because it's at the top of the list again.

I have done that before. That is a hassle.

Is there a way for people to receive notification that the thread has had a post updated? Or better yet, have it bumped whenever there is a significant change to the last post (I would say for all but I can see that being abused)? At the moment, unless you are looking at the thread, if you change your post no one will notice.

Now, could the above be done, even if it would never be done, is there the possibility within the forum engine?

Hmm...Yeah, that would be a pleasurable feature to La Guilde *cough* The Guild.

But, I agree with LovelyHue. When I read her post, the EDIT: , popped out right away!
