We’ve got our five-minute editing back. See the pencil in your post – if you’'re fast enough – and I just edited my reply to you above twice, if you look back at it; each of the last two lines is a separate edit.

Yeah, but we now have full edit histories for each post that anybody can view. There’s no need for any limits. Probably a discussion for another thread, though.

I already created a thread to request that. Come add your voice to it.

Request: Can we restore the ability to edit posts?

Yes, for longer than 5 minutes. Unlike vbulletin board, where only moderators can see edit history, Discourse allows all posters to see a post’s history. So what harm is there in allowing a poster to edit their post? They can’t “re-write the past”. What they CAN do is fix an awkward typo or add a clarification that they realize they need after a reply or two.
