It's not a matter of speed, it's a matter of opening the window. I think. It worked in the Web Development forum where I tried it.

I know that since I looked it up in the PhpBB manual.
Look. The Who actually presented pretty solid evidence that posts were modified. He would have had to immediately modify his post after posting it knowing full well at the time that somebody would quote him and be writing a reply before he hit submit (for the edit). That is highly unlikely (however not impossible). From a techincal standpoint, TheWho actually has a point. Only admins could have edited his posts without leaving an edit stamp after somebody else (anne bonnie in this case) quoted him. (unless, he wrote "i am an industry whore" immediately after posting but before anne hit submit.). He would have had to know that somebody would have quoted and replied to him.
You think it's easy? Try and do it yourself? I challenge anybody to successfully edit a post without a trail (and get a different post quoted). The only way I can see of to do it is to wait for people to be online that would respond to you with a fairly long post, then submit your edit after they hit quote but before they hit submit on their reply. One problem is that you don't know when the other person is typing so it would be crapshoot and the edited version might get quoted (but you could hypothetically claim the quoted version was altered). I don't see many posts like that around and unless TheWho got it right on the first time i'd have to say it does look like an admin edit from a
purely technical standpoint.
I'm probably going to a lot of get shit for this, but from a purely techincal standpoint, it looks like the Who is right... we won't really ever know for sure. The Who does actually have a valid point about staff feeling safe enough to post here (especially with insider info). If an admin did do this it's all the more reason to move to SMF asap.
