    I think I can guess the reason there is a time limit on being able to edit posts, but IMO 15 minutes is too short. A somewhat longer time (say, 30 minutes) would allow a more reasonable time to get back to the thread and correct any errors, etc. Not a big deal, but it would be nice, I think.

    I would also like to see it extended, as someone who screws up grammar and incoherent sentences on a regular basis.

    I would appreciate this feature as well. Often I'm working on several things at once on the computer, or receive a phone call, etc. and then I'm timed out for my post.

    yep I think it should say its been edited but I like a few hours myself, many sites let you do up to a day! just to correct grammar and spelling. as I think and write but I do not write well or proof read worth a hoot and spelling, geez I suck.
