I seem to be unable to edit my posts anymore. Is the "Edit Post" option gone, or is this just happening for me since my posts are barely worth posting in the first place, let alone editing?

Of course, as soon as I post this, I check to see if I can edit it, and I can. But I still can't edit other posts I made today.

Now that I'm a mod I can edit my post whenever I want.

Like mason said there is a forum setting for this. It was decided that editing of posts outside of ATF was being abused. So now we're limited to editing posts in atf. hope this helps.

Soon we'll be limited to only posting in ATF as posting itself is being abused. Then we'll be limited to only reading in ATF as ....

Greg, you only have one-half hour to edit your posts before they are locked and only a mod can edit them.

You don't get to 18,000+ posts worrying about things like editing (either pre- or post-posting).

Daddy,

I would imagine they dont want you to be able to edit posts days later because it could cause weird results wrt future posts in the thread. (ie. posts that were made after the first time the person posted, but before the edit)

all,

Ive said it before, but: there is no good reason to give us the option to remove the "edited by" tag when editing posts.
