Edit Post Rules: When & How to Avoid "Edited By" Notice

AI Thread Summary
Editing a post without the "edited by" notice is typically allowed within a two-minute window after posting. The rule is contingent on whether anyone else views the post during that time. If another user accesses the post before the edit, the notice will appear regardless of the time elapsed. The discussion emphasizes that the timing of edits is crucial, and testing has confirmed the two-minute limit. Understanding these rules can help users manage their posts effectively.

What is the rule for when you can edit your post without it saying "edited by..."? Does it have to be within the same minute, or does it depend on page loading?

I do not think time matters. I think it has to do with anyone, other than you, viewing your post. If someone views your post then the next edit will say "edited by..."

It's only a minute or two at most from what I have experienced.

You have two minutes from the time you post the reply to edit without the notice.
