I edit a comment I made, and press Save Reply

My edit doesn't appear! This has happened to me numerous times. Minutes later, I shut down the browser, the edit still isn't there. I try a different browser, it still isn't there

    I also see the non editing every now and again, and I have also had to create new posts (maybe some five or six times in total) in FF29.

    Sometimes there are also messages about posts/edited posts not being posted owing to some error, but usually they do appear.

    I have been trying to find one that had been bothering me for several days now, but can't find it.

    Someone posted a lengthy signature with lots of private data in it, which I have edited out.  After saving it, it's all still there.  Editing it again, it's gone.  Saving it again, it's all back.

    Usually there is no problem editing posts, but sometimes it does not seem to be possible!

    Same here.

    There's no pattern that I can see yet. Just most of the time my edits are saved. Sometimes they're not, for no obvious reason.

    When the saved edits don't appear, the successful workaround for me is to immediately re-edit my reply then, with no further changes, immediately re-save it.

    The edits always appear then.

    Odd.

    Works for me every time in Chrome 27.

    Which browser are you making the edit in? Have you tried making the edit in a different browser?

    I posted a spam notice yesterday, and went back a couple minutes later to add another notice when I got further down the discussion list... my addition showed

    A few more minutes and yet further down the discussion list I found more spam, and went back to the spam message to add the 3rd person

    That 3 person did not appear, so I had to add another message... the edit process to be very "hit or miss"

    Deliberately editing to see if this shows... Win7 with Internet Explorer 11... all fully up to date per Windows Update

    Editing again to see if my 2nd edit will appear... 1st edit did appear, above

    Trying a 3rd edit, after leaving and reopening the discussion thread
