    Is there anyone out there who can explain to me why I am not able to edit a post I wrote a couple of days ago, whereas I am able to edit a followup post. I don’t expect an answer, because the forums have been decimated and deserted, but it sure would be nice.

    I looked into this issue a while back. I think the reason is that many forum software packages have to feature to only allow edits to a post made for a short period of time. This may have been the result of spammers who post a perfectly legitimate post, only to come back after it falls off page one of the forum to post spam, illegal content, etc.
