Ability to edit my own posts

That sounds likely. I can still edit my post above

Yup, one hour. My post time changed from 59 minutes ago to "Today at 3:50PM" and edit disappeared

This is correct. The current setting is one hour for standard user ranks. The Community Curator role gets that unlocked.

If you'll think one hour isn't long enough, I'm happy to extend it for higher ranks, but for continuity of discussions and fighting spam, it's generally a good rule to not leave editing of posts open forever. The platform only allows for it to be time based, there's no "if it's been quoted" or "replied to" setting.
