+           Summary: Can not edit posts in forum (after timeout)
+           Product: Websites
+           Version: trunk
+          Platform: All
+        OS/Version: Linux
+            Status: NEW
+          Severity: normal
+          Priority: Normal
+         Component: forums.mageia.org
+        AssignedTo: mageia-webteam at mageia.org
+        ReportedBy: zen25000 at zen.co.uk

+
+Description of problem:
+After a certain (unknown) time delay it is not possible to edit posts.
+This is not, in my experience, normal forum behaviour and is very unexpected
+and undesirable.
+
+There are many valid reasons why it may be necessary to edit a post.
+
+1. It imparts incorrect information.
+2. The information is out of date.
+3. A minor edit would improve comprehension.
+
+In all these cases it is not appropriate to add another post to offer a
+correction as it may be several pages from the original post, also the
+incorrect post would still be available to be read.
+
+Forum posts are searched and used to solve problems in a similar way to the
+wiki.
+Imagine the author not being able to edit a wiki entry.  
+
+Surely it is preferable to be able to add a (suitably annotated) correction or
+update to a post.
+
+Can we please remove this timeout? 
+
+Time has no relevance here.
