editing a post twice

I edited a post once and now i don't see option to edit it again. Is that a problem with my browser only(mozilla 2.0) or its some feature of DeniWeb. Problem occurred as I added links to my personal blog in my introduction, but later while viewing welcome guide I found this is against rule. Here is the post containing my introduction

Thanks.

1) Yay, our new welcome guide is useful

2) You can only edit your post for up to 30 minutes.

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.
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.

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.
