editing posts no longer possible?

[king of nowhere]

I occasionally read my old mission reports. Sometimes I find a typo, and I used to edit the post and fix it.

I used to, because now the forum is telling me the post can no longer be edited as too much time has passed.

it's something that happened a few weeks ago. A couple months ago all was fine. then for a while, probably related to the forum stability problems, editing became impossible entirely. at least, i would get the "post too old" message already after a few minutes. today I checked, and i seem able to modify some recent posts, but not always.

does anyone know what are the actual limitations on editing, and whether they are accidental or they are meant to stay?

furthermore, when i do write a mission report, since I tend to ramble quite a bit, i often post a partial version and then edit and continue writing. I do it since I accidentally closed the browser page and lost hours of writing; by posting, I save the current progress. but it would be mighty annoying if I tried to do that, and got an error message that the post cannot be edited instead.

I'd really like to understand how the forum is working in that regard

It's a known issue and being worked on.
