Weird tested with mine and works aswell but I'm absolutly certain I edited this[^] post after more than an hour and it didn't get it.
Granted it was a very minor edit but when I edited my previous reply to you I got the timestamp and Modified subject directly.

I think if you leave the site, or post another essage before editing, you will get the modified label, even if it's within a certain timeframe..45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

It takes a couple of minutes between first post and edit for the "modified" marks to be applied; that is how it works most of the time. However it isn't reliable, for the last several months I estimate a 10% probability of edits to slip through without being marked "modified". I've seen that happen dozens of times already, and I add "[Edited]" or "[Modified]" by hand when appropriate.
My best guess is there is a caching issue involved, while creation and modification are occurring on different servers.

Here's what happens:
A member X on server A views a list of messages. These messages are then cached on server A. Another member Y on server B views a list of messages. These messages are then cached on server B.
Member Y edits a message on server B. The message is updated, the cache on server B is invalidated and updated, and member Y see's the latest message.
Member X, however, sees the old data if he is on server A. He sees the new data if he is on server B. For the sake of efficiency we do not check every message of every forum to see if it has been edited and whether it should be thrown out and recached. Instead, we cache for only 5 mins or so, meaning member A could potentially hop between different servers and see different things.
Member Y, however, will always see the latest. When he goes to server A he carries with him info on what he changed and so his appearance on server A will trigger a cache invalidation and he, and everyone else on server A, will now see updated information.cheers,

Thanks for that.
It is kind of what I was expecting; the "When he goes to server A he carries with him info on what he changed and so..." part is interesting.
I happen to recall two occasions, both Lounge IIRC, where I edited a message several hours after I created it and didn't get a "modified" mark; does that mean I wasn't recognized, maybe my dynamic IP had changed?

Was this recently or a few weeks ago? A few weeks ago there was definitely an error in the parser that was causing it to not catch these things.
If it was recent then it could be that you are seeing client-side caching (which we made more aggressive). An full non-cached refresh would have showed the modified tag. However - you would be able to tell beccause when you edited the post the modified tag would have been injected into the subject and message just before you edited, so you would have seen it. If you didn't see the modified tag while editing the question then it's a bug, plain and simple, because no caching occurs there.
Maybe you should just hit Ctrl+F5? :Pcheers,

That was a while ago. I'll keep an eye on things and report if I see it again.

I guess we have a bug then. See my original message here.
I edited this[^] message about 1 hour after I posted it (changed a 's' to a 'd' so very minor edit) but when I was editing it I noticed the [Modified] tags in subject weren't there, I figured they'd show up on posting but didn't. So I posted the bug report. But when Dalek Dave told me it was working for him I tested again with message from this thread and then it worked as well for me.
I forgot to check what server I was on, if it happens again I'll check it.

Chris,
here[^] is a recent conversation where the OP ended by adding "SOLVED" to the subject line, and a solution to the message, while no "modified at..." sentence is to be seen.

Today morning i found that total reputation has been added as few were suggesting.
Though a little confusion on it, couldn't find it in Reputation FAQ either. How is the total reputation level decided? Like a member having 11000 points is GOLD or SILVER on what basis. I believe there must be some sort of chart range for this too. Right?modified on Wednesday, March 17, 2010 3:55 AM

The color codes are in the FAQ, except for the total color; that one is new; I know platinum starts below 10K.
|
|
|
|
|
The new(total rep) one is missing for now. Want to know that one only if published somewhere!

It doesn't look like Platinum starts below 10K... i have 12K and i am still a GOLD!

I have 8631 and I'm silver so I guess it goes something like:
2500+ = bronze (just a wild guess here )
5000+ = silver
10000+ = gold
15000+ = platinum (another one of those wild guesses could be 20k as well )
|
|
|
|
|
If guess is the case...
I think, its the highest reputation one has that is assigned as a total reputation.
Thus, if i had achieved a GOLD at max in any of the category i am a GOLD reputed overall.
Thus no total points based, but on highest reputation attained!!
|
|
|
|
|
Then I would be platinum since I have that for debator.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I can't that's the problem
See my message to that person here[^]
I guess we'll have to wait and see how it looks after Chris ran the update.

| To give an upper bound, 36k total scores as platinum... 3x12=36
2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18

I analyzed it a bit further, found these accounts:
Naveen Karamchetti: author silver 4410, all others white, total silver 4690
Trenton Moss: author gold 8055, all others white, total gold 8164
brianwelsch: debator platinum 9207, all others white, total platinum 9750
roger allen: author gold 6905, debator platinum 2633, all others white, total gold 10213
and that lead me to these conclusions:
- total color does not have fixed thresholds;
- total color is the color of the highest rep number.

I too had same analysis. But Tom himself is an odd one out! See the replies above...

I have changed the wording of the tooltip to make this clearer. It shows your highest achieved level.
This "highest achieved" value isn't used for anything. We use individual rep types when deciding on features available.cheers,

Nope. That is not what I said, and I do not believe it to be true either.
