I set mine to 90 days.
I set 129600 seconds in the forum properties, then edited the forum_view.html template like this:
Find:
<% if forum_allow_user_edit = 1 or forum_allow_user_edit = 3%>
You can edit your posts
<% if forum_edit_timeout%>
for <%forum_edit_timeout%> minutes after posting them.
<% endif%>
<% else%>
You cannot edit your posts
<% endif%>
Replace with:
<% if forum_allow_user_edit = 1 or forum_allow_user_edit = 3%>
You can edit your posts
<% if forum_edit_timeout%>
<% if forum_edit_timeout > 1440%>
<%set forum_edit_timeout /= 1440%>
for <%forum_edit_timeout%> days after posting them.
<%set forum_edit_time = 'days'%>
<% else%>
for <%forum_edit_timeout%> minutes after posting them.
<%set forum_edit_time = 'minutes'%>
<% endif%>
<% else%>
You cannot edit your posts
<% endif%>
And also Find:
<% if forum_allow_user_edit = 2 or forum_allow_user_edit = 3%>
You can delete your posts
<% if forum_edit_timeout%>
for <%forum_edit_timeout%> minutes after posting them.
<% endif%>
Replace with:
<% if forum_allow_user_edit = 2 or forum_allow_user_edit = 3%>
You can delete your posts
<% if forum_edit_timeout%>
for <%forum_edit_timeout%>
<%forum_edit_time%> after posting them.
<% endif%>
Now it shows 90 days instead of 129600 seconds.
