Users are experiencing issues with editing posts, particularly after a recent upgrade. It appears that there is a time limit of 1440 minutes for editing posts, which some users may not be aware of. One user noted that they could edit posts made after the upgrade, suggesting that the issue may be related to older posts. Additionally, technical problems such as error messages and feature malfunctions have been reported, prompting suggestions to clear browser caches to resolve these issues. Overall, the discussion highlights confusion around editing capabilities and potential technical glitches following the upgrade.

Why aren't we allowed to edit posts anymore (at least I can't)? Is it part of the new upgrade?

I think there's always been a limit on how long you can edit posts for. How old is the one you're trying to edit?
 
Yes, the limit time for editing is 1440 minutes after posting a message.

So as Greg said we'd better to clear our browser, and then perhaps the problem will be tackled!
