I like this - I was going to code this myself - so thanks.

Couple of points..

If you don't want your posts to move around the thread (i.e. you only want the thread/forum to show there's been a change), then don't bother with the
modification.

If you want to update the "lasterposter" field (e.g. if the original poster is not the editor) then replace
by
You might also like to make the update option the default, in which case add CHECKED into the editpost template change.

nice hack

Thanks Boofo

Austin, this hack is more for when you have a thread (first post) or post that you update continually and want it to rise itself to the top as a new post. I have a "Useless True Facts" post that I add to on a continuing basis and this makes it great for that. ;)

@ yxboom - Did you try the file I fixed for you, yet? How's it working?

@ all-the-vb - Thank you very much. ;) Don't forget to click install in case I update this in the future.

The reason I didn't make the box checked as default was in case you were editing for like a spelling error or just changing something that you didn't really want the thread to show up as new for.

I had the last poster showing as the editor off the message, and not the original poster (if other than yourself) but that confused a few people when they would go to read the message and it was from someone other than who the last poster was. ;)

Boofo: Got it and replied. :)

Boofo does it again! Good work my friend.

Thank you very much. If you install this, please don't forget to hit the install button. ;)

Note: If you have Xenon's Admin Edit hack you need to put the line of code in the Editpost template from this hack into the admineditpost template instead for it to function. :)

I told you I would get it figured out for you. How's that for relentless? ;)
