Question

Time Stamp

Perhaps this has been asked and answered before and I missed it.

Sometimes when a post is edited the time stamp is not changed.  At other times the edit creates a new time stamp, although its order in the thread is not changed.

Is there any rhyme or reason for this, or is it just another Jive programing feature, like the damm carriage return after 30 characters on first line?

    Curt,

    No, yes. And it may be less than 30 characters, or not all all. It rarely happens over here; maybe because we have our own time here, the TST.

    In any case, the time stamp is strange; sometimes there is a disorder in who is stated as last poster.

    And sometimes, the thread is not brought to the top of the list in the forum even with a brand new post; at least that sometimes happens over here.

    Another very frustrating thing that happens is when you are creating a link to a different web resource. You select the text, click the hyperlink icon and see the dialog where you fill in the URL. You paste and suddenly what you pasted is "undone" and replaced by what was there before.

    In thinking about it, perhaps this is also tied to the odd line break issue. It's almost as if some sort of "refresh" is occurring and causing things to go askew.

    Rick,

    This has been happening more often with me too. I assume that I must have moved the cursor outside of the "hot zone," and if so, it's just OE on my part, but even with care, about 1:3 seems to behave that way too. Now, the cursor is always hovered in the box, when I do the Ctrl-V, but something else must be afoot too.

    You are not alone in this,
