I sure do. Here's the one that made me frustrated enough to start this thread:

Another one that was frustrating was this one:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=133102. In that case the original poster added an attachment in a subsequent post, but came back and deleted it. I wasted a lot of time reading the thread just to find that the point being discussed wasn't there. It was particularly annoying because I share the views the original poster raised and have the skills to help implement the changes.
There have been many more over the years but I don't remember the locations.
I will concede that disabling editing altogether might not be a good idea. But is it necessary to be able to edit posts made last week or older? Really? I can edit my posts from years ago, for Pete's sake. Maybe having the edit button work for only a reasonable time, say 30 minutes to an hour, after posting would be a better solution.
