    I believe it's a vBulletin setting that only the administrator determine if it will be enabled or not.

    Happened to me the other day trying to put "advise me" but in the last minute I decided to delete "me" and, obviously, I had to change advise for advice and then I couldn't :(

    You can edit the content in your original post for up to eight hours. Anything longer than that, you need to use the report button to ask the moderators to make any reasonable changes.

    The only other solution is to use images in the thread, where you can edit your own image, and make any changes that way.

    The edit button works for 8 hours. If there's a typo in your post/title feel free to report it and we will edit it for you. However, we won't edit if you decided to change the price etc.

    We also won't edit if you added a link that you later want removed b/c you don't want it indexed in search engines, or if you did something stupid like posting Adsense stats against their TOS. Always think before you post, and assume it's permanent after 8 hours.
