Hi Swinks, this is a general change. Editing is available in the first five minutes, then disables. This was done as recently a former member edited quite a number of posts by deleting their content,

personally I would allow people to delete their own posts
your way seems to me to be too controlling

Yes, it is sad when a member throws a temper tantrum and does a mass deletion, but it is not a regular occurence and thus does not diminish the site
