Edited Posts Not Emailed?

[mommalina]

If we elect to, we receive emails of original posts to a message thread we have subscribed to. However, I don't think we receive emails of edited versions.

Besides reading the email version, I always read the message on the forum. If not, I would have missed important editing to one of Terry's posts (Feedback, 'Hello - It's me').

It's no problem for me, because I check all New Posts. However, for some, do you think follow-up edited messages should also be emailed?

Something sounds wrong here. I never read the emails of notice, I click on the url to the thread therefore I would see the edit change. That's what I believe everyone should do. Because how else would you follow the meaning when answers are not spontaneous anyway?

Edited posts do not get emailed. Only the notification of a post can be emailed.

Another observation about editing:

On some boards (and maybe on our old one) you cannot edit your message once there is a subsequent post to that thread. You'd have to create a new post to correct any misinformtion.

I clicked Edit to one of my posts here that was followed by others on the same thread. I did not follow through, but it appears I could edit it even though subsequent posts follow. True or false?

Just nit-picking, again.:)

On most boards I have seen including phpBB you cannot delete one of your posts but you can edit it after someone replies to it.

I agree with Rich - True. Check my post that you referenced at the beginning of this topic.

Not nit-picking, just fine tuning. :) :)
