Can't Edit My Posts

Please help! I'm not able to edit any of my posts. Does anyone know why this would happen or how to fix it? Is this common? Thanks in advance.

Which post(s) are you trying to edit?

How long since you posted? You only have about 2 hours to edit before the edit window closes. After that you can't edit anymore.

I tried to edit my post from earlier today. I wasn't aware that I only had a small window of opportunity to do so.

Yes but I saw a thread once that was about 5 pages long, the OP then decided he didnt want his information "out there" anymore and went back and deleted all his posts. Ive wondered to this day how he did this

This is the top line of one of my posts I made a little after six, well over 2 hours ago, and i can still edit. Maybe the edit window of opportunity is a little longer than 2 hours. Who knows, I sure dont...

I have had the same problem several times. Just yesterday I tried to post 2 YouTube videos, but I guess I did something wrong, because the videos didn't show up in my post as they should. A couple of minutes later I tried to fix it, but the system wouldn't let me edit my post, so I had to post a new comment instead.

How come some times when you save a post as draft it goes up on screen and then you can no longer edit it at all? Due to this I no longer save posts as draft as it looks like you dont know what your doing but its the system not me that posts drafts.
