    Not being able to edit my post

    Hey guys. I am no longer able to edit the thread starting post on my sticky thread. Perhaps it has something to do with not being an active staff anymore, but thread ownership is still assigned to my user and I still can edit other posts in that thread. Besides, I was able to do so before becoming staff.

    Thanks in advance.

    There is a time limit on edits I believe.

    But I have been editing that post for months to update it on each new Firefox release. Only recently that I missed some updates.

    Then you will likely have to get an admin to look into it, as there is a time limit on edits.
    Its to stop spammers from posting, then comming back later and changing the posts to spam.

    If you want, I can go and do the edits that you want to the post right now.

    Thanks, but I will wait for an admin to solve the problem.

    Should I report the sticky or just wait for an admin to see this thread? I am not in a rush btw.

    The reason you were still able to edit the thread, is because you were a staff member, now that you are staff emeritus, you have lost the ability.
