for some strange reason after there was a change in the forum ,there was one problem created , I notice we
can only edit messages for our threads ,but not our newly created posts , you can see for yourself.

View a question u created , there is no edit symbol, then view a thread/answer you gave to someone elses question ,see the edit symbol ?

Why is this and will it be made that we can also edit our questions after they been posted ?

Hi,

For the first hour, you can. However, after that, it is disabled. The reason for this is because, some users who don't understand the site, will come back and delete the whole message once it has been solved.

Justin - Don't you think it should be disabled once someone responded or if no response after the first hour, auto-disabled. The reason for the former is to preserve the original question.

Hey,

If we had a problem, I would do that. However, I haven't noticed one, so I see no need to change it.
