Grettings... first time poster to this community, and I'm in dire need of figuring something out.

Hindsight being 20/20 and all, I've written a lot of code around the "timestamp" table field for entries that people post. I've just started working on the "edit post" function, and I'm finding that if you update *any* column in the table, the timestamp also updates. Is there any way to make it *not* update automatically?

The only thing I can think of is running a query, pulling the timestamp and slapping it into a variable, and writing back to the database. I'd rather just have it not auto-update at all, but I'm open to suggestions!

Thanks!
