Thread: cant edit posts?

can we not edit posts any more?
i know it can help keep people from hacking up threads, but its super useful... sometimes i post a question and then see that its already answered and i dont want to look stupid.... also, sometime i misspell like crazy and dont have time to edit until later

also i tend to go on offtopic rants that i dont edit until i see how out of place it is in the thread
**weird my edit button is back now... maybe i can only edit in certain topics.....yep.... i saw that my question in the announcements was already answered and i cant amend it... weird
