On the channel 4 forums, you can only edit a post within 2 minutes of posting it, not good for dial-uppers. But how about something like that, but with a one hour limit or something
Useless and realy a pain in the but tbh.... It's a stupid limitation IMO. What's the purpose of it, other then annoy posters who made a mistake and want to correct it before someone notices the post???

If that limitation is put in, there will be much confusing about some posts because the author made a mistake and can't correct it in time. And while the author is waiting untill the time-limit is over, other people are already replying to the faulty post, etc....

Also a limitation on the amount of editing is useless. There are many situations where you want to edit your post more then once....

As for the reason-box: if you want to put in a reason for editing then do it on the last line of your post. Easy as that....

Uhh... no. :p

I don't see the problem with editing. It's a good thing, and should not be limited.
