That's exactly what folks are complaining about! Any error noticed after 30 minutes have passed cannot be corrected.

I don’t think that’s unreasonable (30 or 60 minutes)

That’s plenty of time to correct typos.

There is a time limit. For a period there is an 'edit' button which disappears after a short time. This means that my typos are there for evver🤔.

The correct answer is „60 minutes“.

This is the time span in which you can edit your own posts.

After that you can contact us to make corrections – but only in important cases ;)

One thing I learned early in my career as a writer and journalist is the difficulty of proofreading something that you have just written, particularly if you are under time pressure. You tend to see what you thought you'd written rather than what you did write. One highly-experienced copy editor recommended that newly written text should be put into a drawer for 24 hours before being proofread.

The same is the case with pictures actually. I have often posted photos that I took on the same day and I thought they were great. But when I see them again the next day, I realize that the editing is lousy and the picture really embarrasses me. It makes me regret not waiting a day to post it.

I have a suggestion:

First: For me its fully ok that there is that 1 hour to make changes.

But it upsets me when I see a text mistake and I correct it that immediately the post is marked as "changed". My suggestion is now to allow changes within 10 minutes without being stamped as changed . . . .

OMG this again

Fully agree. But I have already mentioned this so many times here that I have given up hoping for any change.
