Removing 'post edited by' text at the bottom of posts

Can I make it so it only shows up after more than 5 edits?

..or something?

Where can I edit this variable.

I want to edit the first post in a thread but I don't want the 'Post edited by user blah' to show up at the bottom of the post.

Please halp!

I remember looking into this once for PHPnuke so it CAN be done, yes?

At least extending the number of edits allowed before 'This post has been edited by...' shows up?

Yes it can be done, it's only code Smile

Isn't this text only seen by forum admins/moderators any way?

To Remove It

open viewtopic.php

FIND

Code:

//
// Editing information
//
if ( $postrow[$i]['post_edit_count'] )
{
 $l_edit_time_total = ( $postrow[$i]['post_edit_count'] == 1 ) ? $lang['Edited_time_total'] : $lang['Edited_times_total'];

 $l_edited_by = ' ' . sprintf($l_edit_time_total, $poster, create_date($board_config['default_dateformat'], $postrow[$i]['post_edit_time'], $board_config['board_timezone']), $postrow[$i]['post_edit_count']);
}
else
{
 $l_edited_by = '';
}

Really? I thought it's seen by anyone who edits their post after it's had a reply?

Thanks for the code Unit1

Is there a way to just alter how many edits you can do before it shows up?
