Edits are not marked until after five minutes.  It's not dependent on whether there's been another post (unlike some forum software).

Method of Madness:
I never was sure exactly how long it was.

On another forum I used to be on long, long ago, when you edited a post there was an automatically checked box that you could uncheck that determined whether or not the "edited by" text was there. Generally you would leave it checked if you were changing something substantially but not if you were just fixing a typo.

--- Quote from: Method of Madness on 24 Oct 2014, 19:20 ---Regarding Jeph's Q&As...those never take precedence over actual canon (comic). I guess they're the next best thing, though?

--- End quote ---

I asked Jeph about the character twitter accounts (in an old Q&A) and asked if they're canon. His reply was that they are canon only to the extent that they are not contradicted by the comic itself. In other words, take them (and, I would imagine, his Q&As) as next-to-canon, but the comic itself (as you stated) can always override anything else.

BenRG:
I think that today's strip (#2821) is set Monday morning immediately after Marten and Claire decided to be a couple. I base this on the fact that this seems to be the first morning Marten and Claire have been at work. This means that the timeline for the strips since #2785 goes like this:

Saturday - Claire's day off; Marten quizzes Tai about her status at the library; Marten invites Claire to the 'night off from thinking' he's arranged for Faye; The Couch Scritch Incident;
Sunday - Marten eats pancakes & tells Claire she feels natural; Faye starts work at 5pm; Angus comes back from NY - The FAngupocalypse;
Monday - Marten and Claire's first day at work as a couple.
