I really need some sort of Minor edit checkbox when editing last posts as a moderator of the forum. Regular users don’t need this feature.
Here are two examples where I want to edit the last post in the topic and don’t want it to bump to the top:
- Fix spelling mistakes or formatting without altering meaning.
- Fix hyperlinks on very old posts. For example, I have a lot of posts with hyperlinks which need to be changed and point to the new location. I can’t fix it right now because that would make 50 very old topics be bumped all the way to the top of discussion for no good reason.
So let’s compromise here. Why not allow Minor edits feature for moderators only. I agree that end-users don’t need this feature.
