Unable to edit a newly-made post

Post by John Gray »

I seem to have lost any button which would enable me to edit a newly-made post. Any ideas why? Thanx!

Don't you get the pencil button near the top of the post (below its subject)?

Odd - all I had shown initially was the double-quotes button.
How many time can one edit a post? And is there a timeout?
I've just tried to edit one, which worked - but I'm now left with the double-quote button only so I cannot edit it again...

I wonder whether it could be to do with cookies / logon? I've just had to log on again (even though previously I could still post...), and the four buttons have returned.

There might be a constraint on how many times you can edit a post in one minute, or something similar.
