Edit My Post on Multi-Page Thread: How Can I?

AI Thread Summary
Editing a post on the first page of a multi-page thread is only possible within 24 hours of posting. After this period, users cannot edit their posts directly and must report the post to mentors for any changes. The 24-hour editing window has been in place for some time, allowing users to modify their content shortly after posting. This policy helps maintain thread integrity while still providing a brief opportunity for corrections. Users should be aware of this time limit when seeking to update their posts.

I want to edit one of my posts on the first page of a multi-page thread but the edit button is not there. Is there any way I can do this? I don't want to change anything, I just want to add some text explaining why my post is incorrect.

You can only edit up to 24 hours after you post. If you want anything edited after that report the post in question to the mentors with the edits you want to take place.
 
Thanks
 
Woah, it was extended to 24 hours?

It has been for a while now.
 
Ok thanks, guess that explains why I was able to go back to edit posts which had lasted over a few hours.
