Can I edit my posts?

In fact you can edit post while no-one readed it, i guess, because some times i forgot to put the pass of the rar and can edit normally, but when someone read the post the button dissapear

well, that seems unreasonable. what might happen if someone reads my post and then I edit it?
sometimes I want to correct my post from errors which didn't catch my eyes for the first minute, or I just want to change my previous post about a new program version so there wouldn't be any dupe thread/post just because a minor version update (believe me, I'm not a post-count hunger ), etc... but I can't.

Actually the settings in the AdminCP are that you have 15 minutes from the original posting to review and edit your own post. That certainly seems a reasonable amount to actually read/review your own post and edit any errors or make additions.

All that means is that you should ACTUALLY READ WHAT YOU POST AFTER YOU HIT THE SAVE BUTTON. IF YOU SEE A MISTAKE, OR FORGOT TO SAY SOMETHING AND WANT TO ADD TO WHAT YOU WROTE, THEN YOU CAN STILL EDIT/CHANGE IT FOR 15 MINUTES.

If you want to add additional information, or correct something you said after that time, you can always post a new post with the correction or additional information!

If the consensus of the group is that more time is desirable, that time can be increased somewhat, but some limit is clearly reasonable because if posters can always go back and edit their posts, no one will know that they actually have been edited. During whatever timelimit is set, the post will contain a notetation which states: "Last Edited by" and identify who edited it, either the original poster's username, or the moderator or administrator who edited it.
