No longer able to edit posts

@garrigan62 @latewood Why am I not able to edit my posts anymore? I had editing permissions, I also joined as a member to Bergman’s Lab and had editing permissions there as well.

Only last for a limited amount of time once you make post

Do you know why that changed? It doesn’t make sense.

As far as I know there has always been a time limit on editing posts. If you need an edit and it’s out of your time range tag me in and I’ll deal with it.

I have no idea, but there is a time limit I believe, as mentioned bvelow.

Try doing a post ands editing within a minute to see if your edit feature works,

Yes it works right after but not sure how long that lasts.

It is a few minutes. the time is just long enough for you to proof read and make any edits you need to. The limit is meant to stifle rude or aggressive members from editing out bad rude posts etc.

Glad it does work, good deal.

If you really feel the need hit the three dots (lower right) click the trash can & start all over. I have to edit mine most of the time (fat fingers) and like @latewood sez its on a timer just enough to proof read it.
