Okay -- first of all, Jon A. says he's figured out how to get himself back to where he wants to be - and will, in fact, show me how to do it in case there's a future need. That's good news.
As to how long you have to edit a post -- there's a settable timer in the software. As noted above, it's now set to 240 minutes (4 hours). Strage reaction to me changing it to this -- 'cause I had received feedback asking me to SHORTEN the time allowed for editing -- before I set it from the 8 hours (I think that's what it was) to the present four hours.
So -- I guess I'll have to start a poll to get the time that you want to be able to edit your posts. To make it more equitable -- I'll change things after I've received a consensus of votes -- and won't do anything 'til I get at least, say, 3 dozen (that's 36) votes -- to make sure that more than just a few of you voice your feelings on the matter.
I've already started this post - so will put it on the Forum and then get the poll going.
Okay, it's up and running. Remember that I want at least three dozen votes, and I've set it so you won't see the results until you have voted. No filling the ballot box by asking your buddies to vote the way that everyone else is voting.
