• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Forum message edit question..

Not game related but didn't see any other place to post this.

After seeing an error in a previous post of mine there was no Edit button to be found when I attempted to make the change. Further checking (FAQ) reveals the edit function is time limited. So, what is the time limit?

EDIT: Was just advised to go to Sim-Outhouse forum administrator for this..
 
Hello,
i do have the same timeout problem, i think it is necessary for keeping the bandwidth, to limit the sessions after a certain time of inactivity - problem is this time is sometimes limited to a few seconds, or so it seems ..
I do now always right my message into the editor, and only copy and paste it when it's ready because of this problem.
Hope you find out something,
Greetings,
Catfish
 
Long Time Past it was about a week, Just prior the Crash of 9/08 it was roughly 48 hours. Now I'd say it's about 8 hours . .or Less

My vote is 8 hours... But I can use this thread as a test to see how long the edit button lasts.
 
The time limit for editing a post is 400 minutes, so you've got a little over 6.5 hours to get all the typos out. :)
I know...sometimes I need longer than that too!

It is 3 minutes and a few seconds, to be exact, until i'm thrown out. Smetimes even faster - so what could be the explanation ?

Thanks and greetings,
