Editing First Post: No 'Edit' Button - Why?

[VortexLattice]

Hi, I'm sure this is my problem rather than a mistake with the site, but when I go to edit the post that I started a thread with, there is no 'Edit' button. There are for my other posts in the thread, but not the first one. Why would this be?

Thanks!

There's a time limit. You can only edit your posts during the first 11 hours and 40 minutes (=700 minutes) after you made them.

But...but why? That doesn't really make any sense.

Many people have abused the edit feature causing the thread to be come meaningless after a number of kind people took time to help them. The edit window should be sufficiently long for anyone to proofread and correct any errors.

Arghh...that is so irritating when it happens. Especially when you log back on and it's too late for you to edit your post in response...

That's when you pm your favorite mentor and offer her anything she wants if she will edit your post for you.

Or maybe clarify with another post? Mentors have enough on their plates. However, who am I to say? :shy:
