How to edit and remove ones posts?

[frunch]

I hastily drafted a call for help earlier, and I can't figure out how to edit my original post for clarity. Am I missing something? I found using the quote feature I could at least copy my original post and edit it, then post it as a reply. Can't delete my replies or edit (or delete) my original post/topic. Help, please!

Edit: oddly enough I can edit this post by hitting edit at the bottom of the post. the plot thickens!

The edit button goes away after a certain amount of time... can't remember how long, somewhere from 1-4 hours.

Yea, but some posts don't show and edit button right after posting.  I have so many typos on these phones and I always seem to miss them.

yeah,  I'm the typo king... personally,   I don't hold other's typos or errors against them but it irks me when I make them. Using these tiny keypads  leads to many typos.

The edit button should be showing up for all tech groups now. It will be available for 60 minutes after you post. Same setting for all groups.
