[2019] My guide is locked to edit ;(

Hey there,

Are you talking about this thread? Neither the thread itself, nor the first post within it, appear to be locked. Could you link us to a screenshot of the error message on Imgur?

Ah, I see what’s happening here.

Bit surprised the forum used that terminology; it’s a little misleading.

So, to clarify, there are three things that can happen;

• A thread can be locked (no further replies can be posted).
• A post can be locked (no further edits can be submitted).
• A post can become too old to be edited further.

In this instance it’s the third - it’s not that this particular post has been unlocked and can be individually unlocked, but rather that the site-wide setting no longer permits edits due to how long ago the post was created. I’ll need to speak with the team about this.

I’ve changed this and there should no longer be a time limit on post editing.

It may take a short period of time for this to propagate.
