Same here, notice you can no longer edit posts. The feature was recently called 'modify', but it no longer shows as an option after a while or possibly clearing your browsers cache, etc. I'll give it a try now...

Am no longer able to modify the post above after logging out, clearing Safari's cache and logging back in.

This time I simply logged out/logged back in, and see I can no longer modify either of the above posts.

You can still modify and save a few minutes after posting, I presume the goal is to avoid that people edit old postings to fit their current narrative ;)

Right, but something has happened recently to the ability to modify posts. For example and not that long ago, I was able to modify an old Marketplace post of mine, but no longer can. For the longest time I could not (which made a complete mess out of the sale thread), then was able to. I thought great, they finally fixed that, but the option to modify is broken now again.

I think you should be able to modify posts in the Marketplace indefinitely. Especially when wanting to update your current goods for sale/trade.

Sure, put a time limit on all other posts if you want (few days maybe?), but losing the ability to modify (say you catch a misspelling, left out details, etc.) right away after logging out, then back in again is strange IMO.
