I was going to do a giveaway contest but...

then realized that we can't see when a post has been edited now. BOOO!



Does anyone have an idea how it could still be done without cheating with the new format now?

    Not true! I just edited a post and it shows date edited and by whom. Only thing is it was edited at 9:46 PM which 6 hours from now.



    See my second post in the MCM thread. Also note that I was able to start a paragraph here too, which it seems that some folks on these boards are having a tough time doing.



    It looks like the edit thingy is hit or miss as to whether it will show or not. With the ability to delete posts, I'm more likely to delete a post and re-post it in altered form than I am to edit it

    yep, point taken. No way to be sure about it now. Wait a minute, what am I saying, no one on here would change/delete/edit their entry in a contest for their own benefit so that they could change the actual outcome win, would they??? image

    I think an edit only doesn't show if edited within the first few minutes of making the post.



    Edited 19 min later,,,,, does it show?

    Yes and other forums are set this way as well. Usually you have 1 to 2 minutes for editing before the Edit Line and Time display at the bottom of the post after an edit.

    def is time stamped...depending on what you have in mind, could also PM you as an extra added step in security. To verify.

    Great ideas, I like the pm idea but that could be disputed by someone who just wants to F with me, it has to be a public thing that cannot be denied.



    I guess if it timestamps 2 minutes after an edit if an edit is done and the rule is that all entries have to be in by Midnight and the end that determines the winner doesnt happen until 3 PM, that would work, right?

    Or you could be like a college football official and just pick who you want to win regardless of the rules.image

    Why not just send all forum members a Morgan? THAT would be a giveaway.

    Sure, take the lead on that since it was your idea. image
