Why is the time to edit a post limited to only 30 minutes?
I suggest either extending or, better yet (in my opinion), eliminating this limit for the benefit of those who don’t catch typos within the 30-minute window; or wish to add more content to their original posts or fix formatting or other errors that they don’t discover until after the 30 minutes have elapsed.
I believe this change, if implemented, would be especially welcome for those who post retro TV schedules; because in those posts, sometimes a TV station’s call letters can be mistyped (e.g. transposing of two of the letters in the station’s call sign), and if the OP is corrected in a subsequent reply, he or she can go back and edit the original post instead of cluttering the thread (and therefore the board) with replies to his or her own post with “oops, I messed up the call letters for channel X in such-and-such city” or something to that effect. My reasoning for this change would also apply in the DXing section where I’ve seen numerous cases of transposed/incorrect radio call letters.
