As far as I remember there is a switch in the admin panel to en/disable "show last edited by".

On this type of forum, it seems you only get the "edited by" message if you edit AFTER someone else has posted.

I am typing this message only a minute or two after the line above. We'll see if it gives the message.

Nope, no message. I'll edit it again after someone else has posted.

Okay, it's several hours and two posts later, and we're testing again.

Yep, there it is now.

It didn't occur to me to post a new message and reply to it myself. Short-sighted on my part, but moot now, since it looks like that's how it works.

I Think Drebbel is correct.

If you make a post then realise you need to add or correct it after you have posted it, then IF no other post has been made after your post then the message doesn't show.
But if someone posts after you and you decide to edit your post the edit message does show. (I think) Smile
