I'm moving to Drupal Forums from vB. There are a couple of important features I haven't been able to find yet in mods... a biggy is the ability to allow users to edit their own comments for only a limited time and/or stamp edits w/ with "lasted edit by.... on...."
Ideas on how this might be done? Or is there a module I've overlooked?

I just wrote a module to do the stamp, its for Drupal 6 only at the moment though. http://drupal.org/project/comment_edited, a package should be available tomorrow.

Cool! I have to stay w/ D5 for a few months yet (until some other mods are ported), but good to know that will be avail when we get to D6.

Can you suggest any tips for patching it for D5? I don't really know much about php and hooks and all, but if it only involves replacing a few variables, etc. I can probably manage that.

the module is pretty simple, so its doable for sure. you'll need to rewrite the install file and the hook_menu for the settings page and thats about it. or you can support me and i'll do it for you ;)

I might do that! I think I could rewrite the install file (maybe) but no idea how to rewrite hook_menu
For me, a 'simple module' is one without an install file ...and only about six lines of code. :-D
