Am I just being a big dumb? Did I break it?
Why can't I edit my posts?

Why can't I edit my posts?
As of this evening, my ability to edit posts seems to have disappeared. I'm logged in, but the button seems to have vanished. As a serial editor, this is very upsetting.

Re: Why can't I edit my posts?
You can only Edit up till 2 hours after posting, unless you made the first post, which can be edited indefinitely(since you have the first post in this thread yiu can try it out later).
I just posted this and the edit function is working for me.

Re: Why can't I edit my posts?
Ah, that explains why I was able to edit this one then.
Has that always been the case? I could swear I've edited things older than that before.
EDIT (while I still can) --
Apparently it was a php.BB 3.1 change. It's shocking to me I hadn't tried it or noticed it since then, but oh well.

Sorry for the thread, everybody.Post Editing Privileges
We are shifting to a style that is commonly used across the Internet: topic creators may edit their initial post indefinitely (useful for "Official Topic/Thread"-type discussions, or collections of information), while individual responses from other users may only be edited up to two hours after the initial posting (as opposed to being open for editing indefinitely). Kanzenshuu is about documenting history, and specifically that history as it originally happened and was originally stated. While we of course think people should have a little bit to reflect on what they post, part of being a responsible Internet citizen is understanding that what you say remains online forever. You are creating history as you leave your comments; that is something "awesome" in the actual sense of that word, and should be treated with respect and care as your contributions become part of a greater whole.

It was implemented with the forum upgrade a few months back.

Took advantage of my two-hour time window to add that to the previous post before your reply came in. Thanks for the help.dbgtFO wrote:It was implemented with the forum upgrade a few months back.
