Topic: Topic marked as "new" when a posting is edited.

Something was suggested on SMF forum by someone who requested this.  I wonder if it would be difficult to program as a mod to the forum.  His idea was to add a button at the top of a thread, beside the "Notify" button that would be called "Notify Now".  When someone edits his/her post he/she would click the button and it would send an email or mp to everyone who has subscribed to the thread.

The other possibility that I see is to take the Marathons (just the marathons, not the discussions) out of the forum and build our own system but I would need help from other programmers, I don't have the time to do this all by myself.

1) The current marathon gets pinned until this marathon is closed by the end of the month.

Good idea

But we often have many marathons running together, which one do we pin ?

We are only talking about the monthly marathons where more of us participate. The individual marathons get pushed up every time a new review is done anyway.

Should I pin both threads or only the Marathon but not the Marathon Discussions ?

IMO it is sufficient that only the Marathon thread itself is pinned. For one thing the discussion thread has (hopefully) a lot of activity and will automatically show up in the top. Also I have it linked in the first post of the marathon thread.
