Post editing time too short
Posted: Thu Jun 07, 2018 3:34 pm
Is there a good reason why this site doesn't allow members to edit their posts in the first few minutes after posting ?
I have just posted and when I tried to correct something 15 seconds later I got the message 'you can no longer edit this post !' ???
I can understand the reasoning behind restricting editing to say 1 minute or even 30 seconds but less than 10 seconds seems slightly absurd to me and extremely frustrating. It means that if later you wish to correct a technical error or something you have posted that is unintentionaly incorrect or misleading or add a image etc you have to post a fresh post which can be several posts down the thread .
