Why Can't I Edit My Posts?

Post by tgb »

When I try to edit something I posted previously the text disappears.
I spent 90% of the money I made on women, booze, and drugs. The other 10% I just pissed away.

Works fine for me in firefox. What browser are you using? Are you getting the same issue in other browsers?

This used to work for you right? Do you recall the last time you edited a post and it worked correctly?

I'm using Firefox, and it happens sporadically, not all the time. The sane thing sometimes happens when I try to quote a post.

When you say it disappears, it disappears when you try to edit or it's not there to begin with when the page opens?

Extremely stupid but I have to ask just to make sure question -

Are you sure you are hitting Edit and not Reply?

Also, not quite so stupid question -

Does Quote work fine for you?

Yes to the first, and no to the second. I have the same problem with quote.

I'd start by trying a different browser and see if it keeps happening. If not, clear out the Firefox cache and try it again.
