Every time I edit a post (mostly for spelling and/or typos) I must edit the post twice. First edit is made and Update clicked.. I return to the tread to see the post unedited. I edit again.. click Update... return to thread THEN the post is updated.

    It has never happened to me, in FF.

    Maybe this is one for John or Jochem.

    I have no recollection of this ever happening to me. Firefox/Mac, Explorer/Win 7, Safari/Win 7.

    Is it possible that you are going back to the

    thread by using thr Back button of your browser? I aslk because that would take you to your unedited message...

    That would cause it, but that's not the issue.

    You are taken back to the thread after editing. The edit isn't present. I've even reloaded the thread, emptied browser cache and reloaded thread, logged out and back in and reloaded thread. Simply put.. the initial edit does not take place.

    If it happens again, could you try the following:

    - click "Back" until you reach the edit page again;

    - check the message ID in the URL;

    - open a new browser tab and go to

    http://forums.adobe.com/rpc/rest/forumService/messages/xxxxxxxx (with

    the messageID for xxxxxxxx);

    - verify the content and the timestamp of the message.

    If the content is old, the message was not updated. If the content is

    new, the message was updated but somehow the cache on the webserver is

    out of sync. If that is the case, please check again after 5 minutes and

    only if the message is still old update it again through the website.

    That happens to me a lot - Firefox on Windows 2000.  I always thought that I must have clicked the Cancel button by mistake...
