Default Option for "Edit" function to remain open?

Hi there FF Team,

I'm not sure if this issue has been discussed before, however I note on FF that the edit function for authoring a post is only open for a limited time. I was wondering if it has ever been considered to leave this "edit" function open?

This is a pretty common feature on other car forums and it assists with a few handy functions for the author:
- ability to copy the post code at a later time
- ability to edit or make corrections at a later time
- abilty to edit an opening post of a "build thread" and add some hyperlinks for specific work, in the style of an index or contents list, as the work progresses.

Refer to this page for an example of my third point above:

Cheers.
