If I reply to an updated post of yours and need to update myself, how would I flag that in the title? :)

PS: FWIW, I'm thinking of expanding my wiki-mechanism to automatically truncate (updates) from titles.

I might also include a "last edit"-comment in the text, though I'm not sure if JS can provide a reliable timestamp.

But you understand my problem?

Yes, I do, and I have to say that often my question of whether or not someone has seen my update applies to newcomers who themselves don't use the (updated) tag (and who sometimes don't notice /msgs).

I'm not sure if JS can provide a reliable timestamp.

Some options to get the current browser time: new Date().toString(), new Date().toISOString(), new Date().toLocaleString("de-DE"), and more.

That would probably be a good option!

I'm against removing "(updated)" globally for everyone - if anything global is done, I'd prefer something like my regex above.

current browser time != current server time != current reader time ;-)
