Does anyone else find the "edited by author" ugly and annoying?
It seems to take up lots space and draw more attention to itself than the content of the post at times.
Sometimes I want to change a spelling error, but at the risk of having a massive "edited by author" slammed on.
Could we get the size of this thing reduced or something?

Sorry for unlocking the thread Rikus
Just thought I'd point out, the "edited by" messages are now limited to just one per post. So it shouldn't be so ugly now (though posts older than today will still have the old "edited by" messages).

Not sure to be honest
Pixelthief did spam a lot of "Edited by author" messages, so maybe that was the reason..

Also, whenever an admin edits their own message, it shouldn't say "Edited by an Administrator" really. It looks like admins have to be censored by other admins

Why does it need to have "Edited by: " in the first place. Why not just have the E there, and if you hover your mouse over it, it'll show a name, and if you click it, it takes it to that persons profile or something simple like that. It would be a lot cleaner.

Because then it takes an extra step to find out who edited a post. I think it's fine as it is personally

Then have a blue E for people who edited their own post and a red E for admins who edited it. Those are really the only two people who can edit posts.
