I do love CC software and am behind you guys all the way.

The first few years I was on the cc forum, it allowed unlimited editing of post then there was a time limit and I was good with that.

I understand having a time limit of post edits like all the other forums, but the inability to correct a typo or change wording in a post is very frustrating. If the concern is someone spamming or adding links, wouldn't they do it through the sig?

If someone is changing post to spam isn't the answer just to ban them or is the this forum now limited to that capability?

Quite apart from the spamming issue, I'd imagine it could become frustrating to respond to a post if that post turns out to be an "ever-changing-target". In other words, the response would no longer fit the post that's responded to if the editing were to go significantly beyond spelling errors, etc..
BTW, the spell checker seems to work pretty well, as does the Preview option

I'm not saying allow post editing unlimited, but a minimum 5 minute limit to edit? ..and if someone is changing content of their post, it does a a report link --- that qualifies for the ban hammer, period.

I have a spell checker but sometimes one will get through. Some people like me are a little dyslexic and will transpose words which the spell checker does not pick up.

Have you ever wrote anything and a couple of minutes later you want to reword a couple of things???

edit: minute=minutes <<--- spell checker didn't get it.

Do it all the time! (BTW did you mean 'wrote' or 'written'?)
That's why I leave it on the Preview for a couple of minutes to give me a chance to read it over before I submit
Seriously(?) though, is this really of some importance? I recall having seen a few other posts complaining about the same thing. I guess I just don't 'get it'...

I don't understand the problem guys, I have an edit which I've seen last for at least 10 minutes at times, if you can't edit it in that time then you're most likely not editing it at all

That is correct, you have almost 10 minutes to correct a post if you choose. If we allowed someone to edit/delete a post at any time, then the context of the original post may not fit all corresponding posts after. Most forums I have ever used always have similar restrictions.

My suggestion, don't be in such a rush to push "Add My Reply"

Scott, I just sent you a email with pic attached showing not being able to edit certain post and strangely on others. This is the first time I have had the ability to edit post in months. I think it explains it better.

I just sent you an email back

add: look at the time of this post and the last. I can't edit the last post.
