Problems Editing my Posts

Aim_High — Thu, 10 Aug 2023 00:56:54 GMT

I saw another user just report this same issue and now I'm having it too. When I click on the three dots upper right, I would normally see option to edit my post first. I also know that when threads are LOCKED by moderators, that first option changes to "Mark As New." I'm now not seeing a way to edit my posts on open threads and "Mark As New" is my first option. This is on iPhone using Safari browser login. Anyone else having a problem or know a solution?

Update:

And ... oddly enough, I checked the message I just posted and it allows an edit. But multiple other messages I checked locked out my editing as-of a few minutes ago.

Seems they've put an expiration, or time limit to edit posts. Haven't been able to determine how many hours it is, but next day the option has went... POOF!

I accidently posted a blank message yesterday and immediately went to edit it, No luck. I clicked edit a couple of times, and nothing happened a couple of times. Had to post another message under my blank one.

I felt bad.

Just noticed the same thing. Its like a time out was placed to edit a post. I'll check kudos. Oops. Typo. No Edit post. New bug? Maybe @UncleB can get an answer or report the bug.

It seems like there is a new timer in place for editing! Good catch 👍

I've noticed the same thing, and I agree it's quite annoying.

I have a feeling this change is a "feature" rather than a bug, but unfortunately I no longer have a path to escalate this type of thing (or anything, to be honest).

Got you taken care of on the blank post... moving threads and making blank posts go <poof> are the only housekeeping things I can still help with. All the other stuff is left to the paid mods now.
