The timer on the prompt to accept or start a bounty should be reset after an edit of the question by the OP.

@waiwai933: 1. Thanks for the spelling correction. 2. I thought it was obvious - the edit may well show why an answer hasn't been accepted.– Mike JonesSep 3, 2011 at 19:39

No, the timer is to force the bounty to eventually be awarded. If edits reset the timer, then the OP could just make an invisible edit to the question every 6 days, and keep the bounty on the question for as long as he wanted, instead of half of it being rewarded to someone after a week.

I would agree with that, but that is not the issue. The issue concerns the display of the prompt to the OP, not the bounty itself. Sep 3, 2011 at 19:47

No, I don't think so. Edits shouldn't change the question. Edits are to improve questions (and answers), fix spelling and grammar, etc.
