Flood control for editing???

If you make a post and then realize that there is a mistake/ typo in it, the board does not allow you to edit the post immediately. Instead a message appears asking you to wait.

While flood control is a desirable feature, and essential to avoid problems due to spammers etc., the editing of a post should not be treated the same way as the creation of a new post. :think

I had the same problem:

I've found that if you 'Preview' the post first, THEN 'Submit' it, it will work. ;)

Yes, but there is no possibility to control it seperately... so you have to wait 60 seconds before you can go on.. sorry
