How come when I edit a message sometimes it says  "Last edited by (name) at (time)" and sometimes it doesn't?  On one message the first time I edited it said nothing and the second time the message was there.

EDIT: Also, when someone that is the last poster in a topic edits their post is it possible to make their message go back to the top of the list so then people can see the new information without having to post again.

It think it doesn't care about your edit, unless (a) a certain amount of time has passed, so it's not longer an edit just to fix a quick typo (b) your message is no longer the last in the thread.

Na, the point of it an edit is to fix a small mistake, not to "bump" the topic. Just post a new message if you want people to see that the topic has changed. But don't bump for the sake of bumping if the topic is still on the first page.
