Yes- if you edit a post shortly after posting, you see a message just above the box saying that you have "x" number of minutes left to edit. The message seems to count down from 120 minutes.
My standard joke on this issue is that somebody on ATS is working with 30-minute hours.

Yeah. It happened to me too. I didn't make much of it and just added another reply. But I can understand the frustration if it happens with a long opening post and we want to add to it sometimes.
We'll survive...

If there was no edit timer you could go back and edit what you said after members have replied. It would be even easier to make people look very silly (there are enough trolls around here as it is). You could also do hoax predictions and it gets silly.
My point is about the silly message saying you have missed the 4 hour window when it is only just over 2 hours since you made the post. Either make it a 4 hour limit (it's currently 2, at least for normal members) or change the massage to say 2 hours. Or am I mad?
P.S. Yes, I know. I am mad or why else would I be here writing when I could be doing paid work? Am I addicted.

So it is 2 hours.... I completely understand why they would give you a time limit, and in fact I'm grateful that option exists at all cos for some reason I never seem to pick up any of my spelling mistakes until after I press reply.
But you read 4 hours, you assume you've got 4 hours. And here's me thinking it was something to do with living in a different time zone to most ppl here on ATS.....
