Edit feature

[Missedmytoe]

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.

Has it? Let me try..

Definitely gone for me.

Testing

Hi OP

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

Hi OP

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

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

Mine has gone too.

Oh and it's back...

testing

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!

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

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.
