Hide Last Edit in Edited Posts

[HotRod Richard]

To hide the "Last Edit" line found in a post after a member has edited their post, which is the way it's set in this group so all members can edit their post without the notice being left in the post.

Admin > Structure > Layout Templates > click the "Thread" link, then select the "Post List" tab

There are 2 sections that you will need to change in the list.

Scroll down until you find:

{if $[post.thread.first_post.edited]}
<div class="edited_by"><span class="italic">Last Edit:</span> $[post.thread.first_post.edited.date] by $[post.thread.first_post.edited.by_user]{if $[post.thread.first_post.edited.reason]}: $[post.thread.first_post.edited.reason]{/if}</div>
{/if}

Than add <!-- at the beginning and --> at the end so it looks like this code below

<!-- {if $[post.thread.first_post.edited]}
<div class="edited_by"><span class="italic">Last Edit:</span> $[post.thread.first_post.edited.date] by $[post.thread.first_post.edited.by_user]{if $[post.thread.first_post.edited.reason]}: $[post.thread.first_post.edited.reason]{/if}</div>
{/if} -->

The 2nd section is further down the page near the bottom. Scroll down until you find:

{if $[post.edited]}
<div class="edited_by"><span class="italic">Last Edit:</span> $[post.edited.date] by $[post.edited.by_user]{if $[post.edited.reason]}: $[post.edited.reason]{/if}</div>
{/if}

Then again add <!-- at the beginning and --> at the end of the code so it looks like the code below

<!-- {if $[post.edited]}
<div class="edited_by"><span class="italic">Last Edit:</span> $[post.edited.date] by $[post.edited.by_user]{if $[post.edited.reason]}: $[post.edited.reason]{/if}</div>
{/if} -->

Then click the "Save Changes" button

I hope this has been helpful for anyone that needs this information.
