how could admin edit a post without leaving an "edited by..."?

is there a way not to leave a note that a post was edited?

[6.2.3]

editpost.php - comment out the lines as indicated below:

Code
// if ( $user['U_Number'] == $Postedby ) { <br />      $markeditselect = "<br /><br /><input type=\"checkbox\" ...> {$ubbt_lang['MARK_EDIT']}<br /><br />"; <br />// } <br />// else { <br />//    $markeditselect = "<input type=\"hidden\" value=\"1\" name=\"markedit\" class=\"formboxes\" />"; <br />// }

Thank you very much.
That was very fast. Wow!

Does that affect only the admin?

Yes, wasn't that impressive?

Actually, I did that hack months ago, so it wasn't too difficult to dig it up and post it here.

It affects both administrators and moderators. It simply treats everyone the same, instead of forcing the "edited by" to be present when one user (an admin or mod) edits a different user's post.

Yes, that looks equivalent. I had forgotten that Josh posted that.

Yeah, we had it kicking around our moderator forum here... and so many people asked... I finally posted it. But it's Dave's work.

Comes in very handy when you need to fix a URL or something and don't want people to wonder what was censored.
