Is this a new feature having the person's name appear?

That's not new, is it? I thought it always did that.

I'm pretty sure it's always been that way too.

Remember the good ol' days when it would just append that text to your message, so every time you edited a post, you'd have to go find it and remove it if you were maintaining a frequently updated thread?

Yeah, that was a pain in the ass.

I think there is a grace period of about a minute before that note gets added to the bottom of the post. If you make edits right after you hit the submit button it doesn't show up.

Yeah, a minute grace period sounds about right. I've gotten in under the wire many times, so that people would not realize that I can make mistakes.

I'm not sure if grace period is a fixed time, or that no one else has posted yet.

Quite right...

If I'm over that minute, I'll usually cut all my text, delete my post, paste my text and repost. No silly "last edited by" tag. It impedes a post's credibility.

It is a fixed time and a variable that is set.

This pretty much means I have no credibility then.

credibility is determined by not editing posts?
