Time Out for Editing Posts

[outreacher]

JK could you please make this longer than it is, at the moment I have a problem replying to threads as my right hand is almost useless, and making a post takes a while, when I try edit.."OOps something is wrong you have timed out" it's crap if you have a disabilty, just saying.

I cannot understand the logic behind it, it is a pain in the ass.

Not being rude, but maybe, just maybe it's your phone?
Only suggesting , because I don't have that problem on here with that techy-thing.

And my phone's a cheapo bog-standard Alcatel...

Agree with the op the timing is too short.

As I have said a few times earlier, I think that £5.50 should give 30 - 60 minutes' editing time.

The argument that people will use this mischievously is pretty erroneous IMO. IMO, few would bother and anyway, ccontroversial posts would generally be quoted by other posters, so changing it later would make the 'devious' poster look stupid. On the plus side, speaking for myself at least, people will often not re-read posts immediately... often spotting errors after a few minutes. Correcting errors makes the forum more readable. On balance, a longer editing time would be good IMO, not bad.
