How to update/edit the post without the "Updated on..." appearing?

1j1
I would need to temporally turn off that "Updated on..." note under the post before it would be updated & after updating it, to restore the settings back but in a way that note won't appear in updated post.   What should I change?

Best regards!

Not quite sure what you are wantijg to achieve, but try removing the call to updated_notice in classic_message_cell

I did experiment with various macros that are related to updating the post, but none worked how I want it.  I need the system to not list that I just updated a certain post & not list it for that post when I restored the macro to make it work normally for all the following posts.  But all I did where just making the notice to not appear as long as the macro is modified, but when I restored the macro, all notices became visible back on updated posts.
I did try what you said but it doesn't give me the result I was hoping for, unfortunately.

Have you tried this...

Create a new post containing the updated version, change the post date to match the original, then move any replies of the original post to the new version and finally delete the original version.

Greg, unfortunately that's not what I meant.  I have like 65 topics on my forum, all created using same pattern. Now it's decided that a certain part should be different & updating them all would cause that "Updated on etc" notice which I don't like to be present there, plus it's a lot of time & efforts doing it all over again.  Already had to repost half of that number in the past to not have that notice, so I wonder is there a some "easy" trick to make the system temporally to not record the post being updated?

Mmm. I don't think what you want is possible

As with many sites Nabble generates a forum page each time it is displayed to a visitor. They are not static pages created, just once.

As they are not static then turning off the "updated on" feature "temporarily" would simply mean that as soon as you turn it on again the "updated" message would be displayed next time the page was viewed.

You either have to turn the feature off permanently, (as it is with Blog and News applications) by disabling the feature or let it run.

The problem is that it works on some data element that is related to the node number for the post and there's no way of an Administrator altering that. It seems to be you have no choice but to adopt the approach I suggested or never display the "updated on" line again for any post.
