Hi All,
As a user (teacher or student) posting to a forum or by creating an announcement, I need that the system puts a pending message (with a 15 minutes delay) on hold, as soon as i click on EDIT, so that i can safely carry on editing it without worrying looking at the clock that the message will ship while I am editing it.
Reproduce the current behavior :
- create a post (press 'Add discussion topic')
- add some info and save it ('Post to forum')
- the message 'Your post was successfully added. You have 15 mins to edit it if you want to make any changes.' displays in green.
- grab yourself a coffee and chat with your colleagues (or reply to an annoying email) for 14 minutes
- remember that you did write a shameful typo or grammatical mistake in your post and open it again clicking the 'Edit' link, felling safe and happy that Moodle did not send it straight away.
- start correcting it (for more than a minute)
- Boom acknowledge, in your mailbox, that the previously saved post shipped as is (15 minutes passed) but you were not finished editing...
Expected behavior:
- repeat steps 1 to 6 above
- the post is still pending
-
- press 'Post to forum' again a see the same 15 minutes message again.
- alternatively click the 'Advanced' link and tick 'Send forum post notifications with no editing-time delay' because now you are confident.
- the post ships accordingly

I search for the same in the tracker and here, but did not find anything. But before creating a tracker issue, I'd like to check with the community if this makes sense and if it is not a duplicate.
Cheers
