The edit facility- not working?

Has this been changed? Trying to edit some posts and wonder if there has been a character limit or something added, so that only spellings can be changed.

How long ago was the post made? I think you can only edit for a certain amount of time after posting.

I've had a problem today too. I found on the second attempt it worked.

Hi both

The option to edit posts should appear for a couple of minutes after posting.
If you're not seeing it at all, or if you're seeing it but it's not performing as expected, can you let us know what device and browser you're using?

Chrome on a laptop. Edit works but not for the first time.
It doesn't show up, but going back into Edit and back out again, it comes up.
Testing, testing

I've just tried it with adding 'testing testing'. Not visible first time. Visible when I went back into Edit and back out again

Thanks so much everyone. Also on chrome and having the same issues.
Please continue to post your browsers/devices whilst we look into this.

Sorry for the third post in a row - my edits just updated. Has anyone else had this? So rather than it not working, it appears to be delayed?

Ok. Yes. I edited and went to look to my post, it wasn't there, and then went off and looked at other threads and came back and yes my word 'testing' as an edit appeared

So it's just a delay?
