Am I being blind or do we not have the ability to edit our posts?

OK, so I can see the edit post function in my post above but not in any of my other posts.
Maybe it times out?

Limit editing time:
Limits the time available to edit a new post. Setting the value to 0 disables this behaviour. 120 minutes.


Is the current setting.. I'm not against changing this should the users want it ?

Some forums i use have unlimited, some have 15 mins...

I was fiddling about yesterday and the edit function was still there about 10 minutes after I posted.

One of the better suggestions I've seen was that it's disabled once a post is quoted.

yeah - that kinda makes sense.

In the matter of providing useful info over time though - it might be an idea to allow permanent editing?
