I've noticed that after I've finished with a post, I cannot go back and edit.

Edit to add: Weird. For whatever reason, the "edit" icon is available to me in the "Site Support" category, but not the back room.

Edit x's 2: Ok, it's only available to me on this specific post. Nothing in site support or elsewhere, previous to this post.

Hmmm....

I went back to look at some of my posts in the various categories and I have found that I can not edit any of them. It looks as if though I am limited to editing my latest post.

There is a time window for editing a post, after which you cannot edit it.

Thank you for the clarification, FF. I didn't know for sure if it was supposed to be that way or not. As it turns out, it is not broken....so nothing requires fixing.

Can I inquire as to what that length of time is?

Just checked, that's correct.
