Editing existing post

[Case]

Not sure if this is possible or not.

I know it isn't cool to keep posting after yourself (double-triple posting) in a thread, that you should instead edit your last post.

The problem with this is that it doesn't show up that the thread has been updated, so people might not check back and see you updates.

Is there anyway around this?  Some way to flag the thread as having a new post?

Thanks!

To the best of my knowledge a thread does indicate a change when a new post has been made AND when an existing post has been added to.

The Blue 'New' icon is displayed.

Unless it has been recently broken.

It might be noted people usually never notice that you've edited your post, since it's not "bumped". But hey, a rule is a rule is a rule. Of course it'd be nice to get a bump to your post with an edit, sometimes...

Wolfrug out.

i can confirm that the blue 'new' icon is in place and works fine. even posts which have been edited show the 'new' icon in the board index. EDIT - assuming you're logged in

regardless, OFPEC is a fairly thriving place and our staff are always on the lookout for posts which stay at '0 replies' for more than a couple of days. unless your thread drops off the first page of the board index, i'm not sure there's much of an issue.

Ok, sounds good.

Thanks for the reply guys.

Cheers!
