The double post feature is not helpful!

However another addition could be to update the "new posts" feature, so that it shows up as an edited post in the new post searches and also when you view the forum that contains the thread in question

Hmm wouldn't that be like bumping again, now only in 1 post instead of seperate posts?

You misunderstand...

It doesn't bump the topic, simply resets the topic's status for those who have read it previously, from "read" to "not read due to post being edited" - It would only show up as edited for those who had previously viewed the thread, otherwise it would show up as a new post or not at all depending on your last visit

I like it that would put things back where they belong

I haven't really had a problem with this perosnally, however I first noticed it when I replied to a post and then quoted another post just to realize it was in place. After checking a bit I figured out what was, no biggie but maybe it would be a good idea to inform that user at the time of the bumping. Something in a bold font that says "your topic will not be bumped within a 24 hr period, only appended" just a thought.
