@tethich @daniel-strmecki , Yes, the edit option is now disabled for Community members, except for Admins and Community Advisors. This change was implemented due to a significant increase in spam attacks. Spammers were creating regular threads to bypass spam detection and later returning to edit their posts. To address this issue, we have restricted the editing feature as of now.

I can confirm it's not working the last few days to edit your own posts/replies.

        That explains it now.

        Maybe worth it having Edit option again but for like first 5 minutes or so, after message was posted.

        Thank you for the clarifications.

          Hi @kautuk_sahni 

          It would be beneficial to provide edit options for users who frequently reply or answer questions.

          You could have a user segment, where users who have correctly answered a certain number of questions are granted access to the edit feature.
