Why is there an edit limit on post.?

[jesse g]

Please explain why there is a limit on the number of times one can edit their post.   I may want to add  additional comments or correct a statement made without adding a new post.

This is one thing that has really made the Cakewalk forums Great.

 

When you research a problem.. you don't have to scroll down to try and find the answers.

The person who starts the thread would simply edit their post a day later with their results.

Updating as more info is learned.

Found it! It was hidden in group settings.

It actually wasn't a number of edits limit, it was a time limit within which you could have poster's regret. This has been changed now.

I don't know. It's not intentional. Let me figure out later whether it can be changed, I'm sure it can be lifted.

Hopefully this time without the vanish-o-matic filter.
I've had whole threads disappear when editing the original post on the old forum.
