How does (or does not) editing a board effect previously-verified runs?

On a board I inherited from inactive mods ( https://www.speedrun.com/pbol ), submissions are set to be accepted with milliseconds. Personally I think it's crazy to submit with milliseconds for anything but a PC run done with an autosplitter, so I've never included that option on any boards I had from the get-go. I've had some submissions come in, even with console runs, where people just put the milliseconds from their manually-done LiveSplit timing in that field. Now I'd love to just uncheck the little box on the Edit Game screen that says "Time in milliseconds" except there's a run on the board (WR in fact) verified before I got mod for this game where the time was verified in milliseconds. And I don't like the idea of altering something someone else verified, even if it's this minor, even if that someone is now inactive (which they are). But if I uncheck that box, will that run be effected? While it's an inconvenience for me to remove the milliseconds from submitted times, it's not a large one (since I have to retime the run anyway). Just wondering what effect it would have to uncheck that box.

So I just tested this out and it looks like if you have a run or runs on the board that already have milliseconds in their submission, the milliseconds are just hidden rather than completely deleted from current runs so the only effect it'd have is that it just doesn't show the milliseconds anymore for the run(s)

Yeah it just hides the millisecond value.
