Hello.

:furious: :laugh:

I think it's a little annoying that it is only allowed to edit posts 5 minutes after posting. Whats the reason for that anyway? I often like to add and change things later on, things i forgot or improvements ad like to make, not to talk about the thread title if I change somethings in the setup, adding more light or something else specified in the beginning. Always being able to edit your own threads and posts would be fine I think :)

Best regards
Tetra

Eh, I reckon' its a pretty good rule
It stops people going back and changing their arguments and generally confusing what they are trying to say.

After 5 minutes is quite likely somebody may have quoted them or something.

Ah, and I didnt have grow diaries in mind... Put it that way and its an interesting point. Could make complicated rules about the original poster in certain sections in the forum, but not sure if its possible, or indeed worth doing.
