    Just a query regarding the time limit for editing posts. I have 60 minutes to edit my posts, but note some other standard (non premium) members have 12 hours. Is this because we have been on ZooChat for different lengths of time? I.e. first year members get longer? etc.

    Hmmm, I am not sure on that but I will tag the administrator @Simon Hampel here and he should see it and provide an answer.

    What is it that leads you to believe that some non-premium members have 12 hours to edit their posts?

    Could it be that you are seeing posts get edited which are actually being changed by a moderator rather than the original poster?

    Pretty sure the settings have not changed since we migrated to XenForo?

    Also - there are differences between posts, photos and comments on photos - so it is possible you might be confusing several settings?

    A member on here told me they had 12 hours, it was possibly @ZooBinh (who would have been on here less than a year at the time). I also vaguely remember having a similar time when I first joined in March 2015.

    So sorry, just to confirm...the time limit for editing a regular post (not a photo/photo comment etc.) is supposed to be 60 minutes?

    The settings would have changed in Oct 2016 when we migrated to XenForo.

    Currently regular members have 1 hour to edit posts.
