AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the missing EDIT option for posts in certain threads. Users report being able to edit posts in some threads but not in others, specifically mentioning issues in the Metaphysics section. It appears that the ability to edit may be restricted to posts made within a certain timeframe, likely less than 24 hours. Participants confirm that the EDIT option is inconsistent across different threads. This inconsistency raises questions about the platform's editing policies.

I can't find the EDIT option for some of my posts in threads (I can in this thread however:confused:). Is it just me, or is it missing anywhere for others too?

Do you see the quote button?

Yes, and as I added to my previous post, I have an edit button in this thread too. In threads I posted in Metaphysics however, I didn't have the EDIT option.

In case this is helpful Greg, I just checked out other areas of PF, including an older thread of mine, and so far this is the only thread that is offering the Edit option to me.
 
I think you can't edit messages that are over a day old.
 
I've noticed it to be less than 10 hours.
