Edit time changed

I think this FAQ »Site FAQ »Can't edit your post?
needs updating.

What exactly is the limit now on forum post edits? I just edited a post of mine that I posted four days ago. So, is the limit now how many days? Or is edit time now unlimited? I could go find posts older than 4 days and see if I can now edit them but I'd rather ask here what the new limit is if there is one.

Out of the horse's mouth »Allow post to be edited after the12hr mark in FOR SALE FORUM

But it doesn't tell us how long the edit window has been changed to.

edit to fix punctuation

I think the change was in response to the thread in New Forum Requests about giving the tech support forums that provide one on one support more edit time. Maybe it could not be done just for those forums so the change was done for all forums.
