    After some consideration, I've taken Quzah and CommonTater's suggestion of reducing the post edit window. It is now 60 minutes; this should be plenty of time for someone to go back to fix up a post.

    So posts are non-editable after 60 minutes?

    NICE!

    Thanks.

    Correct, except for moderators and admins, posts are no longer editable after an hour.

    Seeing posts like this, I'd be tempted to change the edit lock to 5 min!
