Thanks I notice the edit icon is on some of my posts but not all, the Admin must have it turned off on certain ones.

Ooh, sorry, didn't explain that there is a time limit on editing. It's quite generous, relatively speaking, but is in place to prevent "revisionist history" edits after-the-fact. There is a short few minutes allowed that one can edit for typos or re-thinks without the "Edited by..." notation. After that, it's 60 minutes to change your mind. You are not compelled to enter a "reason for editing" unless you want to.

Sometimes, we help you out by fixing formatting errors or snipping out superfluous quoted stuff, in order to maintain an uncluttered look. Know that we will NEVER edit posts for content unless they in some way violate our TOS. This is a "NO TOMMENT" Zone.
