I'm getting rather frustrated that I can't edit any posts that I've made to correct typos or mistakes.
The edit functionality has not been taken away. As detailed in the rules, there is a 15 minute edit window to allow for correcting typos or minor mistakes, or even to delete a post completely, and this same time limit has been in place for a long time. The only place where editing may not always be possible is on moderated posts/threads as they aren't always visible quick enough to edit, however this only affects a small number of posts. There are no current plans to extend this limit as some members have abused longer edit times to disrupt conversations retrospectively or even post outright abusive messages and we have to strike a balance with the tools available. However we are constantly working on the forum code too and if we are able to overcome some of these limits then we will revisit this.
