Editing own posts without a time limit

    Hi,

    We've noticed that once posted, a message can only be edited within a few hours (1 day).

    E.g.:

    We'd be glad if we could edit a message without a time limit, as almost every community forum on the web does nowadays.

    Thanks.

    Strange, this was already set with this permission. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Still no cog wheel on messages older than one day and a timeout still exists on my most recent ones.

    well at least that was true in my experience anyway :)

    cheers

    Yeah, i'm not sure. I looked all around the admin dashboard. The only thing i could find is noted above.

    Maybe there's a hardcoded setting in the config file. Maybe @Moult knows.
