Unable to Edit Post After 10 Minutes???

[Cypherdude]

Hello,
last night I wrote a lengthy post in reply to someone's system problems. After I went over it, I tried to edit it. However, because it was TEN MINUTES after my original post, I was unable to submit it. Your TEN MINUTE time limit is not reasonable. You need to change the edit time limit from TEN MINUTES to TEN DAYS.

Greetz.

All you needed to do was just send a "PM" to a Staff Member, and ask them to update your post for you.

Or just make another post in the thread with the new suggestion/information..

And as far as changing the edit period to Ten Days, well the trolls would have a field time editing there post's during that time period..

If anything 5minutes should be sufficient amount of time.

Recommend you type message in MS word to proof over and or use the "Preview Post" function.

The current 10 minute rule keeps people from typing nasty things and editing them.

I increased it to 15 minutes. That ought to be adequate for any post.
