Does the Adobe Acrobat Community Forum remove the ability to edit a post/reply after a period of time has elapsed?

I am interested in learning if the Adobe Acrobat Community forum suddenly imposes edit limitations/restrictions upon member posts/replies after a period of time has elapsed?

    Yes, the forum may have time limits or permissions that affect whether you can edit an older post or reply. It can also depend on your account level or community settings. If the Edit option has disappeared, it may be a forum restriction rather than an issue with your account. You could check with an Adobe Community moderator to confirm the current editing rules.

    Hi @boilermaker73,

    I hope you're doing well! Thank you for reaching out, and I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble editing your post.

    The Edit option is available in the community under the three-dot menu (⋯) on your post or reply.

    To help us better understand the issue, could you please share the following details?

    • Post or reply link: The link to the content you're trying to edit and approximately when it was posted.

    • Replies: Whether the post has received any replies.

    • Issue details: What happens when you try to edit it? Is the Edit option missing, greyed out, or are you seeing an error message?

    • Browser: Which browser are you using? Try with a different web browser and see if that helps, you may also try to reset the browser and see it that works.

    Once we have these details, we'll be happy to investigate further and assist you.

    Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

    Regards

    Amal

    I’m using MS Edge. However, I don’t believe this behavior is browser related, the reason being, this behavior was previously nonexistent given I previously had no issues editing my reply when suddenly there was no longer an ‘edit’ option displayed after pressing the three-dot menu as b4. That’s really an enigma given the ‘edit’ submenu option returned once I posted this reply, Figure? My belief is to look to the individual/persons responsible for creating/programming this site. Your thoughts?

    Hi @boilermaker73

    Thanks for the update and for the details about Microsoft Edge. I understand it is puzzling when the Edit option was there before and is now missing from the three-dot menu.

    We tried this on our side and could not reproduce the behavior, so I would like to rule out something specific to your browser session. Could you please try the following and let us know the result:

    • Open the Community in a different web browser, such as Chrome or Firefox, sign in, and check whether the Edit option shows in the three-dot menu for the same reply.

    • If you can, also try an InPrivate or Incognito window in Edge, which loads the page without extensions or saved site data.

    Let us know how it goes, and please share a screenshot of the three-dot menu if the option is still missing.

    Regards,
    Amal
