Is it a very old post you are trying to edit?

I have no idea what could be causing this.

All your posts or one post? Anyone else have this problem?

Just checked, and I too have this problem.

It doesn't seem to happen in all threads though.

The "edit" feature is unavailable to me in the below thread though:

Yes, it seems after a week or to most posts just can't be edited anymore. This could just be a time out feature in your admin panel peo.

Looks like that happened when we upgraded vBulletin some days ago. It was set to 1440 minutes, after that time had passed you could not edit your post. It could be a good idea to have such a limit, but maybe it should be much higher. What do you think? (it's currently removed, so you can edit old posts)

I don't know.. I think that you should be able to edit your posts whenever you like. Times change, urls change, why make it difficult right.

I personally think having a limit is a good idea, except when it comes to something like the "ads and offers" forum, where editing a post is often necessary.

Sorry Peo, I should have mentioned I changed it, as people have been sneaking back and re-editing their removed referral links.

Ok, that explains it... heh. That's one good reason to have this time limit. So, we will have it back. It's now set at 3000 minutes.
