Easier than what? Leaving a thousand unedited posts lying around and having a thousand new threads that are just sitting out there with no relation to anything? Really, it makes no sense at all.

Hi,

i will explain it in german:

Mit dieser Erweiterung wird ein Thema als "Neu" markiert, sobald ein Beitrag bearbeitet wurde. So wird jeder Leser, der das Thema bereits gelesen hat bei einer nachtr?glichen Bearbeitung darauf aufmerksam gemacht.

M?chte also jemand auf sein Thema aufmerksam machen, kann er das mit einem Nachtrag, beziehungsweise mit einem erneuten Bearbeiten seines Beitrags machen. Auch das Verfassen von doppelten Beitr?gen entf?llt.

You can try to translate it via google or other translation-bots. Maybe you understand now the sense of this addon or modification.

I think I understand a user makes a posts. Then they seen they forgot to add something to it but you already read the post and maybe replied but the edit you didn't see as you didn't know about it. This is why you ask that it show up as a new post. I was looking for this since vb 3.x and it can be done I am told but it isn't a easy one to do I hear too? I run a support forum this is why I was looking for it but just gave up.

Oh. Yes, it does make more sense in Google Translate. You just want to mark a post as 'unread' if it's edited. That actually makes sense.

I have a co-admin that would do that all the time - go in and edit his first post instead of adding to the end of the thread so we could see that it had changed.

No, I've never seen a mod like this either. Seems to me you would have to only allow it for first posts, and then it would have to be an optional checkbox. Then somehow you would have to trick vb into going to the changed post, not the last post.

So we need a developer for this
