*Edit: Seems that it does work for this thread, but not for my other one... weird:

I complained about this in the pinned thread already. Editing is timed, you have to edit your post within 2 or 3 minutes otherwise you loose the option after that

That's WAY to little time! That needs to be increased to an hour or so.

This is being evaluated. There's quite a few changes like this that are being looked at.

Also, problems should go to the Support portal, not in a thread.

I hear what you are saying but why there was a decision to change the status quo and limit editing time to a few minutes in the first place baffles me.

What of those who don't have English as their first language (and there are very many) and they have to slowly correct their grammar, but then they quickly run out of editing time. For none native speakers who can't see all numerous grammar mistakes before they click the "post/submit" button, its a lost race against time ... So what ends up as the final post is unreadable.

It was set to 5 minutes for members. GDNet+ and Moderators have unlimited. I've set this to 60 minutes for now, but I'll probably settle on somewhere around 30 minutes.

I understand the non-native English speaking problem with the short duration, but I think we can settle on a good balance.
