Gotta love my spellcheck Some people edit their post after comments are made and when you read the post it don't make sense. Does that make sense because I can't edit this again :lol:

Same here. I also can't edit a topic anymore once it's been commented on.

I sent admin a question about this edit/delete option about a month ago and he/she (mod) said 10 minutes whether commented on or not was the limit. I went back and looked it up after I posted "5 minutes" earlier in this thread.

If I remember correctly Macon changed it to 15 minutes a couple of days ago. But lately for me "memory" and "correctly" is an oxymoron

Resurrecting a long dead thread because I just saw a misspelled word and was timed out from being able to edit it. As an author, it disturbs me deeply. LOL...

I go to a couple of other forums, one using the same format, and neither of them have a time limit on edits. So my question is... why is there a time limit at all?

I've never had trouble editing a post here at CT(a) hours after porting..
(This is a test..posted at #:25pm Central time)

Here's the edit. The above was intentionally posted here at CT with misspelled words at 3:25Pm Central time earlier today. It is now 11:31 PM, (about 8 hours later.. )

(the original post time that is noted to the right and above the post is incorrect. I do not know why)

Mine states fifteen minutes.

One of my least favorite things about the forum . I can proofread my posts and then go back and spot a blunder. From an old school teacher I hate grammar and spelling mistakes. Especially my own ! Believe it or not I taught English a few years of my 30 year tenure.

Grammarly. It gives you real-time spelling errors, plus it is free.

Cuts deep, don't it? Wish I had a dollar for every mistake I've made. I'd probably be too rich to mingle with you slobs.

It didnt use to be like that. It's new if that is the case. That was my main reason for paying. I type horrible if I don't slow down and really pay attention.
