Using drupal 4.7.3, php5, mysql5.

When users on our forums edit their comments, it appears this also changes the timestamp which causes them to appear at different points in the thread to where they were first posted, gets very confusing!

Comment settings are:

Flat list - expanded

using flatforum.module

Thanks for any help.

Realised this doesn't explain very well:

I think it's only relevant to a flat forums setup.

If a user posts a comment, then a few people reply (not necessarily to that comment), then the user goes back to their post to edit it, the location in the thread changes, and the edited post will appear after the original replies.

For example:

Forum topic
reply1
reply2
reply3
reply4

after editing

Forum topic
reply2
reply3
reply4
reply1 after edit.

I think I'll start a thread on here and see if I can reproduce it on Drupal.org

Couldn't do it on drupal.org - but here it is on my forums. As you can see - the comments that say "first reply" appear after the comments saying "second reply" - this has changed on editing.
