Hi,

Often I find users (myself included) returning to the same post and updating it with some new content, I would typically do something like this;

_Update_

Now I have discovered this etc etc..

As this can happen on multiple occasions for the same post, I thought it would be beneficial to be able to click a button on the post toolbar (bold, italic, underline etc) and have a TimeStamp inserted, there doesn’t appear to be an option for this at this time, nor was I able to discover any shortcut (by typing) to make it appear.

Potentially the output may look like;

blah blah blah

_Update 21/10/2016 13:39_

something new was discovered

_Update 21/10/2016 13:41_

something even newer was discovered here..

I fully appreciate this can be achieved manually, but a feature button to insert it for you would be, well, kinda time saving 🙂

I should add, this would be a post CONTENT timestamp, not a timestamp used against the actual posting of the message as it were (I see there are lots of posts on here regarding that)
