For content you submit to these forums, there is a time limit after which you won't be able to edit it any longer.

For PMs (aka Conversations or Private Messages), this limit is 5 minutes.

For general public posts, there are different time limits in different sections. Time limits are currently in a state of flux, and some may become longer or shorter in the future without prior notice. If you have a particular use case for which you feel you need longer time limits (ie: you are maintaining an FAQ), please contact us.

General Forum Posts:
Time limit on editing own thread (ie: thread title, thread title prefix if applicable): 90 days
Time limit on editing/deleting own first posts (first post in a thread by the original poster/thread starter): 90 days
Time limit on editing all other posts: 7 days

With some exceptions:

In Restoration Showcase:
Time limit on editing own thread (ie: thread title, thread title prefix if applicable): 3 years
Time limit on editing/deleting own first posts (first post in a thread by the original poster/thread starter): 1 year

In New Products - Mods and Services:
Time limit on editing own thread (ie: thread title, thread title prefix if applicable): 3 years
Time limit on editing/deleting own first posts (first post in a thread by the original poster/thread starter): 3 years

In Trading sections (Outside of the New Products section):
