More second-chance pool details #79
Description
A post I commented on earlier was second-chance-pooled, so I got to observe some additional behavior:
- It's not just the original post that has its timestamps rewritten, but also all the previous comments (with relative time spans between them kept)
- If you hover over the rewritten "X hours ago" timestamp, it shows the correct original UTC time
- I was able to edit my old comment! The "X hours ago" on the edit page showed the correct time, unlike the comment page.
- Edit capability eventually went away, presumably due to the 2-hour limit. I bet the delete would have been available as well, had I not already had replies.
Here is the post I was able to edit over a day later: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42789704
