just want to play with the editing feature

NickNickleby

I'm going to create posts, then see if I can 'ninja edit' them such that there will be no record of the edit. I will add italicised text and then subsequently delete it.

Aha! I created a thread, then my first post. The comment "this is a good one to start with" no longer appears in my post, even though I edited it after posting it. So an edit within a minute does not show the little red warning

like the one below (I can't make it read, needs more experimenting)

edited

ok, another experiment. I'll add the line "How about this one" below in italics, and see if waiting 3 minutes to edit it results in a different outcome.

So the post above was edited three minutes after posting and no "edited by" warning. So I'll add another line below, then head off to do some housework and come back and edit the post. My line will read "Do some housework!" in italics.😕

Well the washing machine has been emptied and the dishwasher started. Lets see what happens when I edit my post 9 minutes after posting.

Aha ! still no proof of editing. Right lets go for 15 minutes. My new line will be "how long does it take".

Well, after 1 hour and eleven minutes, lets see.

Bingo!
