Why on earth would you WANT to edit a post which is more than 24 hours old? If TEC hasn't replied to it 15 times by then, he's not going to.
Sorry - perhaps Andre could help?

No idea, ask Andre/Rich/James - again, why would it need editing?

A prime example is the first post in the succession game thread in ICC...can't be bothered to link, but that one should be edited to show the progress of the game...

That's a really good pointSamuel_Vimes said:
The reason is basically what Eddie said as a joke... Generally why do you need to edit such an old post... you generally after that sort of time would just make a new post, the time limit can be altered I blieve but I like I say it's just as easy to make a new post as so many replies probley would have been made that the edit probley wouldn't be noticed anyway.

Yeah myself and 3 other people discovered this in the ALfA forum, where we went to edit our 'Team records' post, only to find the Edit button wasnt there. Spent 20mins explaining it to Andre that night, I got the impression he thought i was a wack when I told him there was no edit button!

The reason I'd want to edit old posts is because I notice an error that I didn't immidiately notice.
Sometimes because it's been pointed-out.
I mean, if you say "Mr X scored 507 runs" and smart-ar*e says "no, actually, he scored 512 runs", personally I'd want to go back and correct that.
And we always used to be able to.

Also I had the problem in my Paid Cricket Game thread as I wanted the latest version to be avaiable on the first post... and not have to search for it somewhere else
