Edit feature

It was there, and now it seems to have gone again
Can't find it in either my android phone or my desktop PC.
I can see the "thanks" option, but can't retrospectively correct an error I have spotted in one of my posts.

Whawillthefuturebring · 14/09/2023 08:15

Hi OP

Is it in the three dots? If not could you possibly post some screenshots?

LilyMumsnet · 14/09/2023 09:58

Hi OP

Just so you know, the edit button will only appear for five minutes after posting.

Whawillthefuturebring · 14/09/2023 11:03

Can this be edited? Yes, the edit option seems to be back.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 14/09/2023 11:05

Mine has gone too.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 14/09/2023 11:06

Oh and it's back...

windows pc / chrome

still here

Hi folks

Can we check you're going to edit within the five minute time frame of posting? Once that time is up, the option to edit that post will disappear forever!

Missedmytoe · 14/09/2023 19:51

Let me check, as I hadn't realised there was a time frame to correct in.
Yes, it worked!!

My ability to edit my posts comes and goes

JoMumsnet · 15/09/2023 11:54

We're glad everything's working for you @Missedmytoe

@Thatsmorethanhalf - as LilyMumsnet mentioned, there's a five-minute window in which to edit your post, after which the Edit Post icon disappears. We think that must be why you're finding that it comes and goes, but if you're not seeing it at all on brand new posts please let us know.

Thank you so much for the edit feature, I hadn't realised everyone could use it, I thought it must be for the privileged few till I wanted to quickly add something to a post I'd just sent this morning, and looked for the edit function.
