Why can't you edit your posts?

Just wondering why you cant do back an edit your own posts. I made some spelling mistakes that i didn't catch while posting and wanted to fix them but can't. Now i look like a dummy! lol

Edit- Interesting i can do it on this forum but not my other post. Is there something that decides if your able to edit or not?

You can edit your posts for about nine minutes before the edit button disappears...

My advice... PROOFREAD... PROOFREAD...PROOFREAD. :)
