Block edits after a reply

We are trying to ease up on some of our timing issues for our users. One concern is to have enough time for them to edit a post.

I am not sure if the composition time, edit time and session time out are all closely related or not.

What we want is for them to be able to edit their post for a few hours while composing so they can go to their library and look up references, etc. However, once they have posted, we want a relatively short window to do corrections of typos and we want to cut off the editing if anyone replies to the post or the thread.

I thought there was a mod that disabled editing of a post when a reply had been made, but I have not been able to find it by searching.

Does the edit time window apply to composition or only after posting a thread?

If the session times out does that automatically end the editing session?

I noticed that extending the session time limit increased the number of logged on users. I am not sure how I feed about that. We have had it set at one hour for a long time and had gotten used to seeing the 1 hour stats.
