Is that true? I'm pretty sure I have edited comments after they have been replied to, as long as it was within the two-hour edit window. But I could be remembering wrong.
Want to try editing your comment now that it has one or more replies and see what happens?
Edit: Testing an edit after this comment has been replied to. Indeed it can be edited.
- chrisseaton 9y agoWell whatever I don't edit my comments after they've been replied to. And it wouldn't make sense to have edited because I've repeated the same information several times in replies to my replies.
- Stratoscope 9y agoI wasn't suggesting that you should edit your comments (except for that one as a test). :-) Your note about HN not allowing edits got me wondering, so I was curious to verify it one way or another. Since you replied to my previous comment, I did a test edit on it and indeed editing was allowed. Mystery solved!
- chrisseaton 9y agoMaybe I was thinking of the rules for deletion.
