Posts: 2472 06/18/08 11:12 PM Ambassador	Sometimes, I see a post with "EDIT: blah blah blah" in it, yet there is no italicized "Edited by: PosterBlah" at the bottom. Why is that? EDIT 1: Is it because the post is edited immediately after posting, without navigating to a different page? EDIT 2: Is it because the post was edited within a minute or two of its initial posting? EDIT 3: What happens if you come back and try to edit after five minutes? Last Edited By: BuckSixty 06/18/08 11:19 PM. Edited 1 time.

Well share the answer with us all, $1.60. I've noticed this too, even on my own posts. Another idle question: why do some poster's names appear in black in the "Who's Online" section and others are in red? Are those in black online RIGHT NOW or is it something else? TAW is right. Everyone else is wrong. - The Dude, stating the obvious, 4/30/08.

Are those in black online RIGHT NOW or is it something else? I think I know this one. The posters' names in the "who's online" box are in red by default. If you click on a name to see a poster profile, the name turns blue temporarily and then turns black. In short, red = you haven't checked the poster's profile recently. Black = you have checked the poster's profile recently. The same goes for other hyperlinks: red = you have not checked recently. Black = you have clicked on the link recently.

I posed the question in my initial post. Immediately, I came back with Edit #1, and my post was not blemished by an "Edited by" tag. That led me to believe that if you edited your post right after posting, it won't out you as an editor. Still curious, I wondered if the trigger was based on time or navigation -- i.e., if you navigate away from your newly minted post, and then come back to edit, will the post be befouled? So I quickly visited another board, and then scurried back to make Edit #2 -- which did not result in a sullied post. However, waiting more than five minutes before making Edit #3 did the trick. So that appears to be the answer -- if you edit within a certain time frame (maybe 5 minutes? I haven't done more extensive experimentation), you will escape the "Edited by" tag. But wait any longer, and everyone will know you didn't get it right the first time.

Posts: 2014 06/22/08 10:16 PM THE JETER	again - far too much time, and far too judgmental re meaningless particulars about postings - but par for the course for COF's If I never read a post about spelling, grammar, or heaven forbid, EDITING ones post, it will be too soon - I (and many message board users) edit posts all the time - adding, "delting", or whatever - How some folks think this is some kind of disease cracks me up - its a freakin internet message board after all Last Edited By: whirly711 06/22/08 10:21 PM.

Why the quotes around deleting and not adding? Would it be judgemental to comment on how you are annoyed by people that get annoyed by editing posts while you get annoyed by people that are annoyed by your grammar and spelling? I find bi weekly random meaningless rants annoying....but comically so. Whirly, relax! I'm just messing with you a little bit. Don't get all worked up about it!

Not me. I was merely curious. I'm often curious about meaningless things. The post in response to TAW was merely me having a little linguistic fun. Oh, and be careful who you call a COF -- I'm pretty sure you've got a couple of years on me. yanked wrote: did you mean, "deleting?" Why the quotes around deleting and not adding? Whirly is the board's worst violator when it comes to misuse of quotation marks. It's part of his charm, I guess. He's been called out on this in the past, and probably isn't as bad as he used to be. However, in this case, he used the quotation marks properly (if not grammatically perfect), and fully intended to use the word "delting" without a second "e." Several months ago, our dear departed friend Johnny started a thread, didn't care for the responses that followed, and tried to cut bait by removing his post. He changed his subject line to "Delted" -- something he has yet to live down, as evidenced by tWhirls' post in this thread and some responses from other posters in Johnny's recent threads.
