Ho OK, but yeah if you direct reply to me with the reply button in my post, you directly reply to me, with the arrow and name while you write your message but when you post it, if your reply is direct after my post, then it doesn’t show the arrow and name in your post on the forum, but if you edit it again you see it was a direct reply to my post. It will only show arrow and name on your post (not when editing it) IF there is another post between your reply and the message you were replying to.
Now if you click the reply button at bottom of forum page, it only reply to the thread.

No, for me the only people who want to change the meaning of their messages are trolls or people who do FB discussions.
This is a matter for the moderators, us.
No interest in seeing that the user has corrected spelling mistakes. For me, this feature is just excellent for MY curiosity because I have this flaw
Ah, I’m with you now. Thanks 
I still disagree 100%
The thing is that user I’m focusing on are not trolls or FB discussion (how did we get there? lol). I’m talking about the real users in real forum usage case. I myself edit my posts a lot. Not only for spelling mistakes that don’t even show a post edits anyway (unless I correct the post very long time after submitting it), but to add new information, or correct erroneous information. I still think this is an important feature and still don’t see anything relevant against the feature besides the supposed data leak one could do and regret.

That was only available to TL3, I believe. You are currently still a TL1.
It was either TL1 or TL2, I believe TL1. I know because my habit of lurking for months at a time means I would often get stripped of my “trust”, but I was always able to view edits and deleted posts.
Well, scachemaille has put it perfectly. I fully agree with him and maintain my initial argument. It is better not to have history at all than to have it open for everyone. However,
^this would also solve the issue. Not sure about the server overhead if every user decides to delete every edit they make, though.

Edit history is (in my opinion) important for long term discussions. Not being able to see what was written prior to the editing allows people to deny what they said in the past and to lie about what others said.

Yes, but this is a technical forum. In a technical discussion this behavior is more than rare and we are moderators to solve this. nobody read is very well and moreover it erases a difference between the levels.

@papajoke hit the nail on the head. This is “supposedly” a forum for technical discussion. Nobody needs to see my edits for spelling or finding that I posted something incorrectly and then change it to the correct response (except maybe a moderator).
Ultimately at the end of the day it’s up to whoever is in charge of the forums to make the decision on what they want to do regarding viewing edits or deleted posts. Personally I feel it just adds drama to the forums by being able to see what people edited or deleted. If the person decided they no longer want to share a particular post or need to edit a post for techinical/spelling/personal reasons that should be up to them and them alone and once that person makes that change/delete then it falls into the category of none of anybody else’s business.

I added this in my Stylus stylesheet to fix that:
.post-retort {
background: none;
border: none;
}
.post-retort__count {
color: var(--primary-low-mid);
}

I’ve done a similar thing in the UserContent.css for Firefox, to get rid of the fade effects when reading a new message in a discussion: I’m using the addon Dark Reader, and such animation is fading from totally white, which slow down the reading:
@-moz-document domain(manjaro.org) {
.highlighted {
animation: none !important;
}

If I quote someone it is not automatically a reply. Why is that?
You’re asking me why when you quote something on the forum it doesn’t make it automatically a reply? Because it is a quote and not a reply? And because you can have multiple quotes in a post?

Actually it wasn’t meant as a question toward you (this is actually a perfect example in itself). But anyway, you’re right. It often is a reply when you quote someone, but now that you mention it there are other instances.
It is literally the topic of the thread and it has been the center of half of discussion here, that you even replied to…
Go back and read lol
edit: not half of messages but it has been discussed

I think the quoting being not always a reply was not discussed before. But you gave the correct answer with the information required.
