I've noticed that the time we're allowed to edit our posts has been decreased. Is there a reason for that? Were people abusing it? What's the new time limit?
Greg says it's not possible.Fredrik said:Thanks for the explanation. Is it possible to set the time limit differently in different subforums, or for different types of users?
The time limit to edit posts serves as a way to maintain the integrity and accuracy of information on a platform. It prevents users from making changes to their posts after a certain period of time, which could potentially alter the context of the post and mislead other users.
The time limit to edit posts can vary depending on the platform, but it is typically between 5-15 minutes. Some platforms may have longer time limits, while others may not have any time limit at all.
In some cases, the time limit to edit posts can be extended or removed. This may be possible through certain permissions or settings on the platform, or by contacting the platform's support team.
If a post is edited after the time limit, the platform may indicate that the post has been edited. Some platforms may also show the previous version of the post along with the edited version for transparency.
Unfortunately, once the time limit to edit posts has passed, there is typically no way to undo any changes made to the post. It is important for users to carefully review and edit their posts before the time limit expires to ensure accuracy.
