I know that we were once able to modify posts, but I can't find the button anymore. Has this changed?

The edit feature was recently updated by ClockGameJohn to allow you to edit your own posts, but only for corrections within the first 10 minutes.  The reason for this started with some contorversial posts that were edited by the author after Marc responded.  You can find the thread here, but I don't think this thread was the only cause for the change:

I've also noticed the "remove" feature has been... well, removed!  Can the "remove" feature be reinstated, even if for the first 10 minutes?  Just the other day I made a reply to a post, and after re-checking the FAQ I discovered I was wrong.  I tried to delete the post, but couldn't, so I had to edit it and make an unnecessary reply.

I would also like to know how to delete an accidental duplicate post that I just made myself.
