I recently went back to a post after an hour to edit links which I hadn't done properly, but the edit button had disappeared.

What is the time limit for editing posts?

I asked this question some time ago, and various people rsponsded with various time :o

I can edit my post for maybe an hour, other said 24 or 48 hours.

Certainly I think an hour is too short a time as a post written before going to bed may not have its mistake noticed until the next morning, by which time it's too late.

I did search for 'editing'  before asking the question, but got no results, but I see 'editing' appears only in the title of your link, not in any of the posts! So the basic search excludes topic titles - another thing to keep in mind (I know you can specify titles in the advanced search).

Just found this too!! Hardly progress!! Can we get rid of the time limit??

I don't think that would be a good idea.  Being able to go back and edit any of your posts could make nonsense of some threads.

I wasn't complaining about the limit, just asking what it was.  I think an hour is OK.

I’m not so sure. Some might totally change their posts I suppose but if you’ve had a brain wobble or mistyped it’s really annoying when you notice it a bit later. Especially if like me you are dyslexic and can’t always see what is wrong at first.
