New edit limit has got to go.
Not being able to edit a post after 2 minutes is plain silly. I could see making a limit of 30 or 60 minutes but 2 minutes is way too small.

I think the whole time concept is a bit ridiculous anyway. How's that gonna work in the For Sale section? Is the thread starter gonna have to contact a mod to edit the price?

I sure hope there's better reasoning behind it than that.

The one thing I love about the edit button is the fact I could correct any mistakes or typos that I could have missed. Now with that gone. We all look like horrible spellers. Yay.

phwew.....here I thought they were just harassing ME more. The reduced time to edit a post will only generate more posts. If a person cannot edit their posts, the will only create another post to correct a previous one.
When will my ability to view pictures be restored? You never told me what that was a punishment for.....will you at least tell me how long this restriction will remain?
When I say "you" I mean ANYBODY.
It makes it difficult to keep the members directory updated.

Wow, who thought time limiting the edit feature would be a good idea? That's a horrible idea. What benefit is there? This really needs to be changed back. Just look at all the unhappy forum users.

Ex- member.
The administrator has specified that you can only edit messages for 2 minutes after you have posted. This limit has expired, so you must contact the administrator to make alterations on your message.
That sux.

wow...I don't get that error message......I get this one. 
The administrator has specified that you can only edit messages for 2 minutes after you have posted. This limit has expired, so you must contact the administrator to make alterations on your message. But don't count on it. You're a pain in the *** and none of the administrators like you.

Why the heck is there an edit time limit at all?
In that case there should also be a posting time limit. Like when someone starts a thread you only have 5 minutes to post in it until it's closed. That makes a lot of sense and would definitely benefit this forum.

OK wait a minute ... our ENTIRE EVOLV-Chicago Meet thread is based on me editing the first post to keep the meets up in the first post. If this is the way it will stay, you will only force us to use another forum to keep our meets in. THAT would be very sad, as I like this forum and would really like to stay here as our home base.
Please count my vote for NOT ACCEPTABLE ... and it has nothing to do with correcting spelling errors. Please please please look into this.

I am with redshedevil (she is our leader and if we do not do as she says we are beaten) this is a stupid change. The ability to edit posts is an essential tool for many people on this forum. I don't understand the motivation for this change and it still has not been explained to us.
