And You Get a Time out!

I was trying to reach directory assistance.

So the five-minute window for ninja edits is still in place.

Except I swear earlier today I saw a number and a pencil icon in the corner of a post I was messing with that was only a couple of minutes old :confused:

There is one more ninja-editing issue that might have changed.

I’m pretty sure it used to be the case that, even after the initial five-minute grace period was over, if one changed a post and then quickly changed it back to the way it was before, it would not count as an additional edit.

But I just performed such a pair of edits to my previous post, doing nothing but adding an extra a to the word place and then immediately removing it again, and now it’s got a pencil.

Was there an image in the post? If so, it was probably the edit by @system to host the picture locally.

I think that edit only happens at the 5 minute mark, though.

EDIT: i also don’t know why it says “May 6” on the right side, it’s the 7th both where i am and UTC

I almost thought we got away with it. Guess they saw the cling film on the toilet bowl.

“Again” would imply that you stopped at some point.

:wink:
