Editing posts after the grace period works after grace period, but saving does not and message is fucking cryptic as hell
-
Got it today when trying to edit another bug thread to add "fuck this shit" tag.
I was allowed to click edit, I was allowed to edit my post in composer, I was allowed to click save but then, I was told I should have done it around 286372828 seconds earlier to work.
So:
- I shouldn't be allowed to open composer. If I wrote a huge-ass edit only to be greeted by this message I would be really pissed off!
- Days instead of seconds should be used, otherwise it's a pretty useless message.

@kt_ Already in the bug tracker.

Thanks, didn't know.

I like how it says "second(s)". Implying there are forums with an edit period of exactly 1 second.

The default is 300 IIRC so it makes sense to say seconds and not days, at least for that.
-
@ben_lubar even then it would make more sense to say "5 minutes".
The only question then is whether it's rounding on minute boundaries or not. Saying "300 seconds" does make that clear, but it's not that important of a distinction really.
