Is there a way to edit a post? I think there used to be, right? I don't see an edit button anymore :(

You can only do it within 30 minutes of making the post, after that, it becomes locked and un-editable.

There's a 30 minute window during which you can edit it. If you're looking for the edit button it's on the left under Flag Bad Post.

Ah I didn't realize that - is this basically to keep threads linear?

In the past we had many problems with people going back and editing their posts long after they had been replied to, making threads incomprehensible. We also had a problem where malicious members would get upset about something and go back and delete the contents of hundreds of their posts, making hundreds of conversations meaningless.
