Time to edit a post

Captain Hornblower · 08-15-2005, 07:45 PM

Is it possible to increase the time a post can be edited? I figured out that the author just has 3 minutes to edit a thread. IMHO is that a little bit short.
Sometimes somebody else points on a mistake and there is no chance to fix it.
I would like to suggest at least 30 minutes....

I bumped it up to 15. How's that?

15 minutes is better...

A half hour or even an hour would be better - it would allow for adding information from further research after the fact without having to put up another post, updating where corrected by other's comments, and breaks for coffee as required.

I'm not sure why the time limit is so short. Is there a problem with leaving it open longer?

Hey, I accidently mixed up a location on one of my uploads...how do I change that after I've uploaded it? (Forgot I was looking at Japan and said Yokohama was in China)
