Well, technically . . .

I don't recall not seeing the little edit pencil any time I have wanted to edit previously, although, I don't really edit that much so maybe it has always been like that.

Currently you can edit your posts for 7 days after being made, and also the ability to delete them within 24 hours. It's been this way for a little over 2 years now. The setting is bypassed in some crucial areas though like in the gallery for example.

In an odd coincidence, I was recently playing around with a new mod I installed that keeps a record of every edited post. This would alleviate the editing restriction since if someone tried to do something maliciously again, it could be reverted. I wasn't particularly impressed with how the mod functioned though, and was a bit concerned with the additional strain it may put on the server. If you guys feel not having a time limit on editing posts is important enough, I have no problem switching over to it.

I have some specific goals for post editing. I sometimes use this board like a notebook for research on builds. It could be helpful to edit older posts when something turns out to be wrong or when new information comes out. Pretty specifically I have part substitutions in mind that now point to discontinued or broken links.

I understand completely why you'd need to lock it down from your experience. Would it be possible to have a single page that each user would be able to always edit, like a home page?

Doesn't look like I can. I will forever have to live with a post looking for a servo shatter.

I checked several threads that I've started, the first post in all of them still has the edit tab. I even checked my first post, in the welcome center.
