    No. That's why I wonder, how come some people could have this line when making editing. :-k

    How did you test it? I presume the line "Last edited" is only displayed when replies are given.

    I make the initial post, and then before anyone else reply (or read, maybe), I edited the line.

    Thank you, Luc for pointing that out. I just know about that logical reason. When there is no one reply, then you could "safely" edit your post. Nice to know! :wink:

    But it is interesting to test the scenario, where no one replies, but there is at least 1 user who READ it only. I want to know if the EDIT line is necessary :wink:
