I’m not Boris, but I did have a look at the settings: There are several limits for editing your own posts.
Important: This post contains information about the forum settings. It doesn’t express any opinion. My opinion will follow in second post.
Within 300 seconds aka 5 minutes Users can change a post, without creating a new version of the post.
So all posts are versioned and the versions are publicly visible. eg:
Everyone can click this “edit button”, which will open the edit history. See the post: [tw5] Auto Linking tags - #2 by pmario … I will try to edit it again, so we can see, how the history can be seen.
-
If more than 100 characters are changed within this 5 minutes, a new version will be created
-
If Members and Regular users change more than 400 chars within 5 minutes a new version will be created
-
New and Basic users and can edit their posts for 1440 min - aka 1 day
