That's because it was posted in August. ( 3 months ago)
I think they are on editable for a week or two after you post.

Dave.0 is right but I think it's a month, can't remember right now.
I swapped the link for you though. -
First, I want to thank Steve for changing my link --- I'm sorry if it caused any inconvenience.
Next, I want to be a bit critical of this "limited edit button" feature. There's probably a good reason for it --- from an admin point-of-view, however, from an OP perspective, there's this inability to correct mistakes that cause grief for other viewers. There are some members whose posts I refuse to read --- too much grief.
Then, there's the fact that the specified post in the original link is a "stand-alone" post, not a starting point to view a different thread. For most links, this is probably acceptable, just not when linking to another MA thread --- I'd like to be able to follow up on the link.
And, when there's info in an early post of a very long thread, that needs to be updated, the OP can't do it --- i.e., a mod list that gets changed, or a vendor that goes out of business, and my original choice of links to use.
I don't expect changes to site SOP's, I just want to vent my frustration with some of the "inconveniences" I'm experiencing. I have similar grief with other Mini-related sites --- small differences in the way each operates. I prefer to have other, non-internet things clutter my memory.
Getting old is a b1tch! -
