Edit function has mysteriously disappeared….

[Fillybuster]

..or am I being a total idiot?

Am logged in (web, not App, which I have given up on for various reasons), can see my posts in that charming apricot (ick!) but the three dots only give me the same functionality as for everyone else’s posts.

Just me?

The edit function is only available for five minutes after you post.
After that it disappears.

I had no idea ( obviously!) - thank you 🙏

It had me perplexed when I first starting posting as well OP.

I’ve only been hanging around on here for 20 years or so. I’ll figure it out eventually 😂

If you don't like the apricot colour, you can change it - via 'settings', I think.

I'm just checking that it works for me as I couldn't edit a post on another thread, even though I was within the time limit.

No, it won't let me edit it.

Hi there @Tubestrike. Can you talk us through exactly what you're doing to edit after you hit post? And let us know where it's going wrong? Eg does it let you go in to edit but just doesn't save the changes or does the edit button simply not work for you?

And can you also tell us what device and browser you are using?

Edited just to check the edit button works for me!

Here's an interesting fact, my edit button disappeared 4 days ago. You click the little dots in the top right corner, all the options are there but not edit. And I mean immediately after posting, not longer than 5 minutes.

Additionally, four days ago, when the edit button disappeared, on my one phone, the format that is optimized for smartphone is fine, all the text is easy to read etc, on the other phone, all of a sudden the text has become microscopic, the formatting is incorrect, and it is next to impossible to read anything..

I've tried on four different devices, I've tried resetting the one phone, I've tried logging out and logging in again, I have no idea what's happened. Why the edit button has disappeared on all devices and why the formatting is completely incorrect on the one device.

Hi there @StruggleFlourish. We'll look into both these issues now. Could you tell us what sort of phone you're using where the formatting has become a problem? And what browser you're using on that phone, or if you're on the app? Thanks!
