If I am getting you the right way, I don't think thats the case with many of us MIdi, and soon you too will be out of this trouble, as if u want to navigate to other objects, just do it before posting, (is there any difficulties in that?... u can save ur post at ur computer also)
But I still want editing allowed after 30 mins, may be not always but in some cases. Like in threads like Introduction etc.
eg. your interest might changes after sometime, or you just learned something you want people to know, or you want to correct something (as it was the case with me, mods did that for me, but not exactly in the way I wanted, and now I don't want to give them trouble again) so.... I guess, if its not very difficult to allow editing some posts forever, while keeping the 30 mins rule with all other posts, it should be done.

Why do you need more than 30 minutes to edit your post? It seems to me that 5 minutes should be pleanty of time to correct typing or other errors. But I suppose more than 5 minutes might be needed by people who hunt-and-peck at the keyboard.

Why I need more than 30 minutes:
If you navigate to get a link or an object, when you return, the post text is GONE from the editing box. You must post it, and then edit it after you get the item into the clipboard.
With the torpidity of the Internet, you can get only two or three items before the time limit is reached.
I think it's a bummer that you can't edit posts because I used to get abused when I posted a reply to some ones question instead of editing it into my previous post on the game maker forums so I've got a habit of making as few knew posts as possible.

How do I compose the post before I post it? If I leave the page to go get something to insert in the post, when I get back, the posting window is empty. Everything I had already put in the window is GONE!
So I can't include more than one link or object in the post, because the clipboard can hold only one thing at a time.

I am using Windows XP and Firefox 2.
I'm getting stuff not only from websites, but also from files on my hard drive. I AM using tabs, and also Windows Explorer. But when I return to the window with the post, the ad plays again. The ad often takes me to the top of the page, and when I scroll down again, the text is gone.
Could this be a cache problem?

Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.
