Maximum Edits
I have sometimes edited posts a tremendous number of times...but I think I only made a few edits yesterday and NONE today because every time I click "edit" I am informed I have made the maximum edits for today.
Is this normal? Did something change? Is this a result of my new I-can-edit-other-people´s-posts power?
But I can´t edit my own posts. I used to do that quite liberally.

Once you reach 2000 points, you can edit other people's posts. At that point you have a 6 edit daily limit, until you reach 4000. Once you reach 4000, you have unlimited edits.
So use your edits to be helpful, but be sure you save a few to correct your own mistakes. It can be very frustrating when you see a mistake but can't correct it!
I was at 3500 points when both Heidtia and Eddy went on vacation simultaneously. I did my best to help Marianne that week, but it was really a challenge! Marianne should have received a reward for that. 
I hardly ever edit so I don't know, but I very rarely get points for voting. Maybe I vote to much.
I think there is a "Glitch" gremlin loose in the system today. 
I hope it's a one day special.
I also had a problem today with editing one two of my own entries, but in several other places it worked O.K.
Ya might as well smile!

HI web, well I had no idea, I think this is a silly thing to happen, after all the higher your reputation is the higher the edit function should be.
Greg, thanks for helping out while we were on holiday, and I had no idea that Marianne did it almost all by herself, which shows that both of you are very valuable to this site...
I ran into this problem of "maximum edits" a day or so ago. Oh well, I will keep editing and voting up others when I can do it.
What you say makes sense Webdunce, regarding unlimited ability to edit your own posts.
Well today I seemed to have no problem editing my own posts...I wonder if you flip a "switch" by reaching the limit by editing other people's posts (which I did not do today)?
El truco es escribirlo correctamente la primera vez. (just to cross threads with the "word of the day").
