    What say you about changing the time for users to edit their posts to what it was (unlimited) or at least extending it by a whole lot?

    The change was made to accommodate a single poster, FF, who cried about supposed edits being made to make him look bad (as if he needs the help) and changing the edit window to something so brief did a disservice to the majority of posters who are now hosed if they want to correct spelling, change formatting, or something else with a previous post.

    Many of the users complain about not being able to fix their posts.

    Yeah, put it back to unlimited. I still find typos in posts I made years ago that I want to fix when I see.

    I thought it was Demiugre's bitching that we caved to and not FF, but either way we should've never caved and I'm glad it was changed back.

    The first bitcher was whatshisname from California who went from lefty ass to Trumpian ass (PTSD?).

    He claims I said that anyone who didn’t vote for Hillary was a misogynist. When called on it by Bailey I think he claims he knows I said it and I must have changed it. He then ran off to TK.

    Then a little while ago for a similar situation FF picked it up and started whining because he couldn’t find what he KNEW someone else said.

    Anyway, I’m glad it is back to normal.

    Apparently there's still a time limit on editing a post. Can it please be removed?
