Sometimes I'd like to change the time of the post or of the replies. In the posts table, I can see two columns: one seems to be for the post time, and another for the edit time. If I want to edit the times, do I just need to edit the timestamps in those two columns, or do I also need to be aware of anything else? I'd like to avoid corrupting the database or leaving inconsistent data. Can I change those times freely? Or do they depend on any other fields? Also, what happens if I set the time of a reply to be earlier or later than the time of another reply? Will the order of the posts in the thread change? I suppose so. The post IDs will stay the same though. I'm just asking all this stuff to make sure I'm not causing any problems by editing those fields. Thanks.
