It used to be you had five minutes to edit your post before the orange edit marker appeared in the corner of your post (which came from 5-15 minutes after posting).
Now I see it appearing immediately.
Just curious if this is a new thing or I missed it and why the change? I’m not really fussed by it but it was nice to be able to fix some typos or phrasing or whatnot before it being noted.
Again, no biggie. Just curious.
Let’s test this
Edited to test.
OK, it doesn’t look like it shows up for me, though of course that might just mean that it’s different for moderators. Any of you mere mortals want to give it a try?
Testing…
ETA: Testing, one, two, three!
ETA2: No marker
Testing 4 and 5 minute marks. Will come back to edit at 4 and 5 minutes.
ETA: 4 minute mark
ETA: 5+ minute mark
Edit tool showed up for the 5+ but not the 4 as expected.
Weird…it absolutely popped up on a recent post I did in P&E.
Sadly, too much time has passed to “prove” it.
Glitch in the Matrix maybe. Doesn’t seem to be happening now.
As said, no biggie either way.
Did you quote someone whose post was immediately before yours?
I’ve noticed that when you do that, Discourse will automatically delete the quoted bit and show the edit tool.
Just a guess.
That may have been the case. I forget now (I wasn’t really paying attention to the details and just noticed it).
This is true.
