12 hours is just not long enough. It seems the 'active life' of a technical thread is only a few days long. One should be able to modify their 'thinking' or position during that time.
Or, what if you make a typo on a part number, but don't catch it until the next day? Too bad, the erroneous number is now in the archive. Sure, make a correction in an additional post, but that just adds to clutter and confusion.
On another forum I participate in, our V-Bulletin has a 7 day edit window. That seems to be enough.
What do others think about extending the length of time that a message can be edited by the poster?Administrator
