Black Tiger Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Hello. It looks like I'm missing an well known option on forums, but it may be I'm just looking in the wrong place, can't find it. When somebody wants to correct a typo or just add a few words to a posting after he/she made the posting, immediatly the "edited by" or "edited just now" is shown. Is it possible somewhere to give a timeout for this to happen? For example lets say post something, and after that use the edit function to correct something, the "edited by" is only shown if I edit the post for example 3 minuts after posting, unless somebody else replyd in the meantime, which makes die "edited by" appear anyway. So is there an option where we can set a timespan before which the "edited by" is not shown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve00 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 admincp >> groups >> far right of each group select the 'pencil icon' >> content tab scroll down to editing section and make changes as required if the 'can edit silently' is selected then when they edit a post they should see they have a choice to show the edited by or not Remember that staff may be able to see the edited by but other members should not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Tiger Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 Thank you for answering, but that is not what I asked. I know I can change it to can edit silently in usergroups, but then the "edited by" is never displayed. I would like to have it like to know if there is an option like on other forums, that the "edity by" only appears after a certain amount of configurable time for example only after 3 minutes or 5 minutes. So the user has a couple of minutes to fix typo's and add little things he forgot, without the "edited by" already appearing even after 10 seconds when maybe only a typo was fixed. But that it does appear if he edits after that time, or if a user already reply'd when he was editting. Most forums have it like that, so I was searching for such option here.

I'm not aware of such an option in IPS, in which software is that possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Vbulletin, PhpBB and SMF in any case, not sure about Xenforo. In vB it looks like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
