BAD..isn't it...as with such a lot more as yet in this newfangled Forum style.. but basically I think the Options are so...
As with a general EDIT chance..you have TWO attempts at any Edit on ANY post..BUT there is a time limit - still yet unknown and stated accurately but I believe it could be no more than about 30 minutes after the first-time posting
Withdrawal - I've done this once or twice and certainly if you actually make a Post then fairly quickly wish to withdraw it - the "Withdraw post" has always worked for me without any doubt.
The othe main necessity for a withdrawal of a post though..is that there must have been NO responses whatever to that post..if there are no responses and it is in the time limit then I see no reason at all why ANY withdrawal should not be allowed.. as mentioned..I've done it several times with NO bother..but it has been within a very short time AFTER the original posting.
Maybe one fine day we shall be given a positive time scale on how and when this can be done - when severall other baffling things are maybe also explained better than right now !!

The withdraw post limitation is stated in the error message. As it is currently, the text involves a lot of double negatives. I agree that it's pretty hard to understand.
To clarify, the limitations are:
The edit post function works up to 15 minutes of posting the original message and up to a maximum of 2 edits.
