What happened to the Edit button?

Post by Tectorman » Sun Mar 12, 2017 5:14 pm

In another thread, I accidentally forgot to put a link to an image in the spoiler tags, as is the courtesy (the original poster of said image doesn't need to, but if you're quoting them, I think you're supposed to hide it so as to not clutter the page). I was going to edit the post, but I haven't been able to get what I believe to be the Edit button to work. It is the button at the top right of your post, yes? The same place as where other people's posts have the Quote button?

(And this was immediately after, not hours later, so I wouldn't think it due to having passed some time limit.)

It's the pencil image button on the top right corner of your post, the button itself is the leftmost button among the one's present there..

It's still in place for me as of this post, the only thing I can think of is time passed out, I never encountered any other reason than that..

If it's really important to edit something and there is no option, try reporting the post and mentioning it, maybe the mods can help you

A while back, they added a time limit on editing posts. You probably exceeded that.

This was immediately after I'd posted it, though. Seconds, not even one minute. Surely the time limit isn't that short.

Never saw any pencil-looking button, either.

Nor do I see one on the above post. The time stamps of these two posts should demonstrate how little time I'm talking about.

Can you post a screenshot?

I can post a link to the page in my DA account that has the screenshot. Will that do?

I have a weird box at the top with three lines that does nothing when I click on it. If I hold down, it asks me if I want to open some Javascript thing or cancel. If I click "open", it also does nothing. As you can see, there is no pencil button and the time of the post is the very same minute as when I took the screenshot.

Even as a mod, I have the same problem on the mobile version of the forum with my iPhone. Try turning your device horizontally, and possibly reloading the page if it doesn't auto expand.

That will do just fine..
TheDevilsCorpse has the same problem so it's definitely something related to safari..
It would help if you could tell more about the JavaScript problem..
I suggest you open your browser, navigate to settings (Should be under preferences)
Then enable JavaScript by the check box..
Depending if a dialogue box pops up or not, save the changes via it..
Finally close the browser and open up fresh..
See if it solves the issue..

If not, open up the action menu in safari and swipe until you see request desktop site..
This will let you edit your post just fine, get out of that mode when you are done

Okay, trying to do that thing. If I'm successful, there'll be another line in this post saying "Test Successful".

Edit: "Test Successful." Thanks
