This is temporarily disabled. The reason is, I need to find a way to stop editing posts after giving the answer. Otherwise it is a big problem. For example, you ask a question about ABC, someone give the answer, then you edit your question and change it to CDE where the answer is now wrong. This has happened couple of items to me. So if a new post has added, all previous posts must be uneditable. Until I find a way out, let's keep it disabled.

How about giving 5minutes or 10minutes to edit a newly posted post or thread and then disabling the edit option ?

We can do that quite easily as we already have an option for that. However, I wanted something different. I wanted to restrict editing only on the last post. If someone answered, then all previous posts should not be editable. If no one answer, then the user should be able to elaborate the question further.

At last, edit button is back ONLY on the last post :yahoo:
