How long can a post be edited?

Post by Player-Tone »

I was looking at some of my older posts today and noticed that the ‘edit’ button was no longer available on them.

Just wondering, how long does a post exist before it can no longer be edited?

Is it based on a number of views?

-Thanks.

Posts can be edited for up to 30 days, and deleted for up to 30 minutes. This is to discourage people from going back and deleting or editing out all of their posts like has happened in the past, leaving topics full of holes and incoherent.
