Inability to edit a post

Hi,

So, I've made a post and clicked to submit - should I later spot an error - I now seem no longer able to edit the post. 

I am sure I can remember being able to do that, but not any more.

Maybe there's a time limit on edits? If so, why?

So, is it a bug - or am I making a feature request?

If you agree, please click like as that apprently attracts the attention of the forum gnomes. 

 

 

thanks

neil barstow, colourmanagement

Thanks, I didn't miss "more", but actually the "more" is missing on the post I was referring to, made yesterday.

Hmm, now I am editing this post because I went back to the problem reply I'd made - and "more" has reappeared in the line of options at the base of the post. So, maybe it is a bug, I'll keep watch

The Edit message command is available in the ... drop-down menu AND in the More drop-down menu. Sometimes it works, sometimes it returns a "message not found" error (which is rather funny).

The menu appearing when clicking on ... or More are pulldown menus. They only contain one single item : Edit Message. Which is curious because in that case, no menu is needed. A button is enough.

Hi, that’s strange, I see a few options under "more" - my original post was because "more" had disappeared. I guess I see "more/merge - - " because I have admin rights? In my earlier question I was referring to a dropdown menu you seemed to refer to in addition to "more" I understand now I think.

You're an ACP, I'm not.

I'm an ACP, also, but I only see Edit Reply because I'm not a moderator or an admin (not sure which you have to be to see the extra options).
