As soon as I scroll over the "edit" button I get a pop up that says "Sorry your time is up" and the edit button goes away. I think the posts got deleted as well.

You mean like immediately after posting? Are you aware that some time ago Mike set a time limit on editing? Edits to older posts have the potential of screwing up continuity. I think there was a sticky about it.

Thanks, didn't realize there was a time limit to edit.

I think it’s 90 minutes.

My problem is 90 minutes is often insufficient time to sober up and edit those drunk posts. 🤣

Answer was given before I could get here.
Measures had to be taken to avoid someone deleting a bunch of content before quitting the site. Apologies for the restriction, but it’s necessary.
Feel free to contact myself or a mod if something absolutely needs changing, otherwise, just quote your former post and then post a correction/retraction/explanation. Or just correct it and don’t say why, that’s up to you.

If I couldn't edit posts you all would soon see what a goof I really am.  |

I want more time to edit my posts so I can seem to foresee what people are going to post before they post it, thereby appearing to posses special powers that will inspire fear in others.
Is that really so wrong?

I am going to examine it, with a mind toward extending that time limit. We can still accomplish what we want that tool to accomplish with a significantly longer time limit.

I have extended the window for editing to 24 hours. I think our membership is trustworthy enough that a shorter time limit is no longer required. Subject to adjustment, of course, should things go off the rails.

I would think most members won't even notice.

You’re probably correct.

I thank you. My posts get edited over and over. That extra 22.5 hours will be a big help to me. Keeping in mind I usually never edit to revise content per-say, I edit because I'm seldom able to make my statements correctly on any first try. Edited and added: even this one. |

I totally understand, and I do it all the time myself. Hopefully the revised limit permits you the time you need!

If you haven't edited it in 24 hours, you didn't care enough.
And realistically, that's long enough that the driveby idiots won't have anything invested anyway.

Time to take up proof reading again.. 🤓 There’s probably nobody on this site that has to edit typos more than I do, so I get it. Obviously, if something needs editing after the 24 hours, you can always ask a mod to do it. To be honest, very little moderation is needed on this site, so we’re available for stuff like that! |

I almost always post with my phone. Errors are kinda frequent. 24 hours seems to work just fine.
