There is a 2 minute limit on editing posts. I don't know about all of you but I always realize there is something more that I want to say. Do you want the limit extended, done away with, left at two minutes, or to disallow editing entirely?

It used to be 1 and 1/2 hours, I think. I was shocked to see the two minute limit a couple days ago. I think it should be more like 30 minutes.

I have also noticed the equipment review section hasn't been working properly lately.

If I recall properly the limit used to be 3 hours. The 2 minute limit is just way too little time for me. Perhaps I'm just slow but I'm most likely to see mistakes after I've looked away from my post for at least a few minutes.

I suspect that the new limit may be to reduce the number of edits being processed by the server but I agree that it's less useful than the old limit or perhaps even an unlimited edit period. I've seen the unlimited setting used on some other forums and was a little surprised at first but it seems to work pretty well.
