    You posted that on the 24th, and today is the 27th.

    I believe posts can only be edited for up to 48 hours, so it looks like that window closed for you in the early hours of Saturday morning.

    I think it's always been that way. If you PM the mod for the forum your post is in and request the edit, they might sort it out for you. :)

    I think it might only be 24 hours but I've never tested it so I don't know for sure.

    I managed to find a post of mine from 44 hours ago in a forum I don't mod, and it says I can still edit it. I thought it used to be only 24 hours before, but I might have imagined that.

    Nearly certain it was two days, but I could be wrong!

    That sounds plausible enough for me :).
