small "edit" tweak suggestion

[milocool]

I understand why there is a timelimit for editing your posts on this site, however i've had it happen twice when i wrote a story in fiction/non fiction that after posting i see some mistakes and start to edit a bit. Then you automaticly find pieces that have flaws, or you forgot a detail, or something needs refrasing etc. so you put in the work, when your satisfied you press submit to find the 15 minutes are gone and all your work is lost

My suggestion is: Once you open a post to re-edit the timelimit should stop untill you re-submit. And if you want to edit 15 minutes after reposting the rules as they are now.

I don't know if the vBulletin forum software can do that. My suggestion: write your story in a word processing program, read it over a few times to make sure you're satisfied with it, then copy and paste it to post it.

I've been reading for a while and have not found the reason why there is a time limit in the first place.
Is that explained somewhere I have not looked yet?
Thanks.
