> [@hajario](#): > > Oh Ffs, Google results are individually tailored. Someone who posts here is much more likely to see a result from here. I thought the same but I did it from Incognito Mode and I also got #9. Which isn’t to say that Incognito Mode isn’t individually tailored, but you’d think Google would be pretty stupid to do something which would undermine the confidence in its own product. ---

> [@hajario](#): > > Oh Ffs, Google results are individually tailored. Someone who posts here is much more likely to see a result from here. For me, the fifth result was the Giraffe Boards. My bad. That was using Safari on my phone. When I use Google it turns up as #8. My results using Incognito Mode are identical in every way to regular mode. I believe that when you’re in Incognito Mode it still knows who you are but it doesn’t save any history from when you are there. ---

I’m not sure if you expected an answer, but I have a guess. Here on the SDMB, we are only allowed a very limited of time to edit our posts. This is a fine feature for us and it prevents lots of confusion. However, based on my experience with other forums, most Discourse boards do not have an edit window - you can go back and edit a post days or even months later. I’m guessing that it’s simply a matter of the countdown stopping when the edit window closes. Maybe. No idea if I’m right but it makes sense, sort of. ---

Yeah, it’s kind of weird here. You can only edit a post up until five minutes later but you can delete a post without limit (or the limit is very large). When I first became aware of this soon after the switch, I went back a deleted a years old post of mine to test it. ---
