New "Minor edit" check box?

[GabeU]

Any idea what this might be for?  I tried it with a couple of edits on my macro test thread in the General section, but I didn't see anything different, such as a new indication of an edit or minor edit like you sometimes see on sites to indicate that an edit was made to a post.  And that the box is there even when creating a new topic or replying to a post is kind of odd.

Good morning Gabe,

Thanks for pointing this out! This function is related to a different service we don't use. Basically it's related to subscription notifications, like if someone subscribed to something you wrote, then you edited it, that subscriber would get a notification. To prevent inundating subscribers with notifications for minor edits, you check that box. 

Hope that made sense!

It makes perfect sense.
