i'm sure -as in i can actually remember when- it used to be possible to edit posts for some time after posting them. now it seems that this is only possible when the post is still the latest post in a given thread -ie when it's posssible to delete said post. can someone plese tell me why? (not that i've got anything to hide, not me guv'nor no...)
thanks.

Well I was handsome and I was strong

"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

We stuck a time-limit on editing quite some time ago, as someone (I forget who now) had been making offensive comments and then editing their posts after the fact to cover their tracks.
I think you can edit for about 15 minutes after posting?

The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

There's still a time limit on editing I'm afraid.DomConway wrote:No other way to edit a post still? Just wanted to add the article date to this.
I've added the article date to the post for you though.
