Quote - I have an edit option at the bottom of my post.  There are 3 options:
quote, edit my post, and delete my post

That dissapears for older posts. You're allowed to edit only recent posts...

Quote - I still get redirected to microsoft.  How strange...oh..it's because you have a double instance of "http", lol
