Re: Redesign overall this forum interface and "functionality"
It was just a wild guess. Maybe you have to earn some more support-kudo's Or have 200 or 300 posts (another wild guess).

Re: Redesign overall this forum interface and "functionality"
Usually you could edit your post until 24h if you are login. You have this options on top of your post. After modifications, on bottom will appear how many times was modified and by who.

Re: Redesign overall this forum interface and "functionality"
I tried to edit one of my old posts:
You cannot edit a post which is older than 3 days.
(Exactly like that: bold, italic, and red)

Well, I can still edit after your post. And the Delete button still shows too.

Sorry, but spam control is boring and not all users can edit their posts.

Re: Redesign overall this forum interface and "functionality"
Funny! So now I have to "spamming" with multiple posts and repulsive needed to correct something from a previous post? That is absurd.
The "because of spamming" excuse doesn't make sense because:
A) You have to create an account and login in order to post. So it would be relatively easy to figure out who are the spammers.
B) If it were such an issue than any other forum would have the same problem or restrictions. But that's not the case.
C) If I'm the authorized creator of a post, in any forum anywhere, I can re-login again apply a correction/edit if needed. Very few have a time limit imposed. One I know of the bat is Intel which limits you to several hours after you see your post to apply for any edits or corrections.
I begin to see the culture here. Like the snotty reply I once a long time ago received, when I was suggesting to implement an inch fraction feature instead of only inch decimal. Surprisingly it was eventually implemented and that was a good thing.

PS Here now the classic example I just see my post and I see my auto spellchecker/correction changed the word "repeated" to "repulsive". only after the post showed I saw it but obviously I can that corrected. Forget about a few more typos.

PPS ...and another typo I can't correct! Not "I can that corrected" but "...I can't correct it." Anyway, you get the meaning of it all! Have a nice weekend.

Re: Redesign overall this forum interface and "functionality"
Would you be so kind and elaborate on why "spam control is boring"? You're not having exactly thousands of users every given hour.
With today's software and technology I don't see what the problem is.
Registered users get all the controls, new users like in many other forums needs to get confirmed (email back confirmation) and verified first. it's not rocket science.
The whole thing becomes an oxymoron: You want to avoid spam but in order to correct something in my post I have to add/reply posts to my posts!
