Edit posts

Can new users not edit posts?

I can't find an option to edit my first post on this board, and yet other users are obviously able to edit theirs. A search suggests there was once a problem with the graphic for the edit button, but i can't even find an edit link in the page source.

For the record, i am definately logged in when i'm trying to do this.

Any help would be appreciated.

wizard

There is a time limit on the edit function, 2 hours I believe.
