    I seem to be unable to edit my posts in the Shipyard section, at least. Did that feature get turned off, or is it a browser thing?

    Editing posts has a timer on it now (like in messages) for a short time, its something to do with preventing cheating when we get to vote on the station contest i think. It'll be back to normal afterwards. I also think i read something about the timer increasing with your post count.

    That could all be wrong by the way :) not sure

    Here's hoping. The particular use case I have in mind is Shipyard threads, where it's pretty common to want to edit the top post with new information or updates.

    I wonder if edit rules can be set by subforum.

    so thats what happened.

    was starting to get a little bent out of shape at the prospect of not being able to update the OP of my thread with new ships

    I was hoping it was a timer. I can't edit my shipyards thread either and thought that I just set it up for content that wouldn't be there. Here's to hoping this timer thing is what's really happening.

    It is a timer, and it is set for the contest. Editing will return back to normal when we have gathered and checked all stations.
