Often this will happen:

1. goof up a post, like make it IC when it should be OOC, or typo something
2. hit edit, change it
3. come back to the chat page and... the post still looks exactly the same.

Refreshing once or twice might make it actually show my edited version of the post.

I thought there was just some problem with IC/OOC switching, but today I edited typo out of a post and it was definitely still there when I went back and I definitely edited it out.

Refreshing doesn't fix it for me either now and "often" has turned into "always".

It seems the only way to actually see the edited version of a message is to be in the room when the edit is submitted. (that necessarily means the author won't see their own edit.)

I think this has to do with the local message cache. Because of that, I'm concerned edits would just be broken under the following scenario:

1. Your rp partner enters your roleplay, views your latest message, leaves without posting yet.
2. You edit your message to fix/improve stuff.
3. They come back and will not see the edit, because their messages are cached and they weren't there to see the edit signal.

Some testing would be in order.

Ok, so some later testing's clarified what the issue is:

• When you visit a room its logs will be cached in your browser until the end of your session. (Session's a browser technical term, here it means until you close all your Litphoria tabs / the browser itself.)
• The only way those logs usually get updated is if you happen to be in the room when your edit goes through.

Since you're rarely in the room again and connected by the time edits go through, you probably won't see your own.

But this also means that scenario I was worried about before won't always happen.
