If you are confused because you think Coup was responding to something I have since deleted, never fear, that did not occur. The responses he wrote were responses to the final versions of my posts, which remain unchanged.
My original post was slightly different, you probably saw it, but Coup never did, because he was not on the board to see it before I changed it shortly after I wrote it the first time.
When I edit my posts it tends to be immediately, I don't go back and edit them after someone has responded. You actually have the same ability to immediately edit your posts within the first few moments you have written them, without a change being noted. It isn't a glitch, we simply can set how much time passes before the edited stamp shows up. I forget how long it is set at, but probably a couple of minutes.
Also keep in mind if someone quotes someone else (including me) the quote won't be altered by the fact the original post was changed. That happened in this case, Coup quoted me and responded, so you can see exactly what he is responding to.
So your confusion, if any, results from what he said, not because something was altered.
Edited to show that after a few minutes pass, the edited by does in fact show up for me, and also to say I checked it is set at 3 minutes. If you edit a post before 3 minutes it won't show you edited it. We can change that to immediate though if that makes people uncomfortable. Edited again to say hmm, I notice it didn't always show up before, maybe it was a glitch or maybe it was just off. Oh well.
