Message modification

Let me put is like this... Suppose User A asked a question, I didn't know the answer then, so I tell user A "I don't know, will reply later". After sometime I do get a valid answer so I reply to him by modifying my original message, so does user A get alerted of this modification just like a new message alert is send? If not is it possible? :) I just send a 'new message' to a user to tell him the answer? Thanks!

This would be a bit annoying in cases where members make multiple updates of posts. We can do it but I've deliberately turned it off.

Thanks for the reply! Yes agreed it's annoying for small modifications, but if the time between last modification and current modification is big enough it will be nice IMO to let the user know! :)

The real question is, why would you say "I dont know, but will reply later"? If you dont know, why say it? Just let someone else answer. Your "I dont know" doesnt help the person who asks the question, even if you say that you "will reply later" with a correct answer.Seriously.
"impossible" is just an opinion.

Well this happened in my reply to this guy! --> http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/Taskbar_Manipulation.aspx?msg=1612645#xx1612645xx[^] I replied to him in 2006, so now I know a better answer hence thought to modify my original message, but I had to post a new one to let him know!

I don't, but since I wrote this stuff hence I should reply to him instead of keeping him waiting.

As NBT said, this is on the forum on his article. I'd agree with you if it was in a help forum, but it would be nice to acknowledge a reported bug on your own article... In your defense, he didn't initially say about his article, and I took it to mean the main fora too. Iain.
Iain Clarke appears because CPallini still cares.
