Why cant i edit my post?

Wrote a post on someone's thread. A couple of people objected to a certain word, so I went back to change it. But there's no edit option. I've edited posts before so I don't know what I'm doing wrong

There's a time limit to how long you can edit a post for. I can't remember the exact time but maybe 10 mins or so. It is designed to be used for typo's etc, rather than changing the context of the original thread.

Thank you. That makes sense.

Hi @EmmaGrundyForPM . That's correct. It's just a short window during which you can edit, but you can always hit report on your post and drop us a line if you're too late. If it's not going to make the thread impossible to follow, we can often do a quick edit for you.
