I wrote this up in another thread, thinking it was this thread - not sure if it will help you at all:

I'm not sure I remember exactly. I know you first need to verify that the user is trying to edit the first post. Then in the condition that looks at the edit setting (whether it is set to 0 or not or whether the time limit is still valid), you add a condition in there (I think I set a variable to true if the user trying to edit the post is the original poster and the postid is equal to the first postid). Then I did something to the edit button to make it show up all the time if it is the first post of the thread. That's all I really remember.
