Edit times

[TKC]

Is there a reason why we can’t edit our posts after a certain time period?
I could understand if it was to prevent someone saying something bad and then covering it up but we can all see the original post if we click the pencil.

I noticed I had worded a recommendation in a music thread clunkily and wanted to change it but had to just reply to myself

I think the time is still that weird compromise between people who loved the old boards thing and people who wanted editing. I did find this old thread about it

Revisit of post editing

Thought I’d post this in here in case the community has a new view on this. I’ve responded in that thread. Basically are people happy with the current system or do you want to lengthen the time allowed to edit your posts? Or anything else?

Anyway, I don’t really see why it shouldn’t be longer, although what I would say is that once a load of people have seen your post editing it could easily be missed so the reply-to-your-own-post thing is still a good option.

I mean I frequently find myself questioning this if I’m trying to clarify a post I just made in reply to someone and I can see them replying at the same time
