Where have my "edit" option gone??

I was going to edit an earlier post by me, but I couldn't find the edit option!
What's happened?

EDIT: It works in this subforum, though..strange.

2.EDIT: It seems I've lost all edit options on posts earlier than today.

Edits are now only possible within 20-24 hours of the original post.

Thanks for the clarification, Evo!

Edits are now only possible within 20-24 hours of the original post.

This seems lika a bad idea to me. In my opinion, the time limit should much longer (if we need a time limit at all). Why not make it, say, 7 days?

 

[Fredrik]

The time limit is actually a lot less than 20-24 hours. I can't edit the posting I made about 13 hours ago.

Hmm...it seems it would make more sense to limit editing once someone has replied to a post rather than based on an arbitrary time interval. That way, someone doesn't reply to a post and then return to see that their reply makes no sense because the original content was changed. Keeps people honest that way ;-)
