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

PHP Code:

$editedbysql$attachmentsql$updatedate 


modification.

If you want to update the "lasterposter" field (e.g. if the original poster is not the editor) then replace

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET lastpost='".time()."' WHERE ... 


by

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET lastpost='".time()."', lastposter='".$bbuserinfo[username]."' WHERE ... 


You might also like to make the update option the default, in which case add CHECKED into the editpost template change.

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.
