I recalled this evening that at least one of you dislikes the edit time stamp in posts. Not something I disliked myself but I did think it was pointless to know if & when someone had edited their post.
So, I did a lil' snooping around in Proboards support group & found a CSS tag that eliminates the edit stamp. I must say that fooling around in the CSS coding for the style sheets in this group had me somewhat hesitant. But upon looking in there I saw a Reset To Default button. So if I screwed up I could fix it.
So I went ahead & added this bit of CSS coding:
.posts .post .foot .edited_by{display:none;} And not only didn't the edit stamp not appear in my test post but it's been deleted from all posts on the board. Of course that's an assumption--I didn't check every post. But I couldn't find it anywhere I checked.
Anyway, no more edit stamps.

Good! I hate those damn things. But, maybe it only works for you because you are the owner/moderator, but doesn't work for the rest of us. So, I'm gonna post this, edit it, and see what happens. Okay, I'm back, editing with an additional sentence. Back again! No edit stamp. As Dennis Lehane might say, Gone baby, gone!!

Sandy, actually you're the person I had in mind when I did my tweaking. 'Cause I know you didn't like that edit stamp.

So, what's that myth about your poor memory, Pete? I often go back into posts, not only to add content, but to correct embarrassing typos. So, I really, really hated it when the notation was, not only a time stamp, but also showed things like, "edited 2 times." Correct a typo and get outed by the forum police!!
FWIW: I also checked older posts in "On This Date" threads, in which I often add content. and found that the edit stamps have been removed! So thanks, Pete, for your time and trouble disabling that nuisance!

with my motor nerve disability I edit often, a problem I often have is letters do not get from between my ears to the screen.
even this was edited!
