Weird problem

new61 · 08. Apr 2009, 08:06 PM

I can't edit my posts anymore. There is no button or option to do so. There are only options for replying and quoting my posts.

It says on the bottom left:
You may post new threads
You may post replies
You may post attachments
You may edit your posts

Anyone have an idea what's wrong?

PS. I can for some reason edit this post, but so far this is the only post I can edit in the forum.

Changes have been made to the forum, so that you cannot edit your post after a certain limit of time. This has been done to maintain the sanity of the forum, and to avoid situations, where people may change their posts after any amount of time, and or use this feature in a wrong way.
The time limit will be 60 minutes... I think. Earlier it was 15 minutes. If you are an editor, you will be a moderator in the Editor's forum, and there you can edit your posts too, and of others too, irrespective of the time limit.
If any confusion, clarify it with Christoph please

... thanks.
