[1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/OFBIZ/summary Thanks for your feedback Mathieu, This info block relates to people using MLs to follow Jira progress. Using the summary could be an alternative indeed. Though I'm not sure everyone agree about that. Including myself, I'm an eager MLs user, but I have no problems with edited comments. So let's wait other feedbacks... Jacques

Editing Comments on JIRA
Hi All I'm noticing an increased habit of editing comments on jira rather than just posting a new comment with a clarification. While it's not that big of a deal, I find when the email comes through from jira it's difficult to figure what has actually changed from when I first read the comment and usually I don't bother. IMO it's much better if you just post a new comment to clarify what you were initially trying to say. Just my opinion and of course you're all free to do as you please :-) Regards Scott

Re: Editing Comments on JIRA
Hi Bilgin It wasn't directly targeted at you, it just reminded me that I had been meaning to send a post like this to the list. My point still stands in your case though, I read your initial comment but I didn't look at the edited one. For all I know you only changed one word but the only way to find out is to stare at the email comparing each sentence until I figure out what has changed. I think it's better to post a new message saying something like, Sorry I missed sending the last two sentences, here is the entire message.

For example while commenting on OFBIZ-1528, i pressed CTRL + R by mistake and sent the comment not finished. That's why i decided to edit and complete my comment. Otherwise i agree with you that reading edited comments is more difficult than new ones. +1 for not editing comments, when not necessary. Bilgin
