I'd made a few mistakes in my postings, is it not possible to correct them?

Comments
To edit a comment click "edit". After someone has replied to a comment then it is no longer possible to edit your original comment.
If the correction is significant just add a new comment to the same thread.

Specifically, it was the topic (before anyone posted) in which I couldn't find the edit button.

Topics can't be edited for two main reasons:
1/ when a topic which has comments already gets edited, the whole discussion can be rendered useless or hard to follow
2/ it can happen that users edit their topic in such a way that they remove the initial question mentioning it has worked out for them somehow. Instead, it's better to leave the initial question in and add a comment how it worked out.
However, I am aware that the situation right now is suboptimal. So I'm thinking about a solution like: a topic can still be edited when no comments are added and within a certain time frame after the topic was posted. I just need time to implement this.

Digital Spy has such a limit.
I had considered that it can mislead the discussion though, so it's up-to-you.

I pressed enter (for a new paragraph), but it ended up posting my topic unfinished.
Hopefully, the forthcoming anti-spam facility will also help to prevent this.

There should be a time-restricted frame in which to allow comments/topics to be edited for technical reasons, not for changing the subject or anything like that.
