So, now the time limit for editing posts is down to a couple of hours or something??
Come on guys.. this is too restrictive!

Seriously, don't complain. If you need to edit a post after hours have passed, then it's obviously not something you made a mistake in, and you may as well hit the "reply" button to post a follow-up. People interested in reading your post will likely already have read it at that point and no longer paying attention to any edits. This is a forum, not a whiteboard.

I'm NOT going to loosen this up again, because it's settled on a length that is reasonable now, keeping spammers/necro-editers at bay while giving plenty of time for post editing for legitimate posts.
