Editing of posts turned off?

Time of past OR future Camino
Too many and too often!
I've made a couple of posts this morning. I wanted to add a few words to one of them and discovered that there is no option to edit the post. Is this a temporary glitch or a permanent change? Or am I missing something glaring obvious? :cool:
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
I just made a test and it works for me. Edit was available on the menu, brought up the old text, changed a punctuation mark, saved, and saw that the edit took affect.

Edit: This was with an Android smartphone and the Chrome browser. And, if it makes a difference, I'm a donating member.

Bradypus,
If you tap Report beneath your text the possibility to Edit or Delete should pop up.

The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.

Same for me since yesterday morn! Just checking. Still can’t edit! Safari.

the road goes ever on and on
down from the door where it began

The second line was an edit. I am using safari on a MacBook air, running 12.7.4.

Perfect memento/gift in a presentation box. Engraving available, 25 character max.
Just tried on an Android phone with no success. So not linked to the device or operating system. I'm assuming it is an issue with the forum software and some member accounts. One for @ivar I think!

Edit: Working now! Thanks @ivar!

Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
I’ve noticed that there is a time constraint on how long the Edit option is available. Don’t know how long it is but i do know that the edit option is not available forever.

Not available lmmediately for me.
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
I hope the edit function works for me cuz I fat finger on my Smartphone quite often.
Testing 1 2 3...

It worked for me...no problem.
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).

As an aside....not only can I no longer delete or edit I also don't seem to have the ability to send a pm/dm after yesterdays kerfuffle.

can't edit ... and can't seem to add a photo either apart from via a link / url ( ctrl p)
I have just tried over on the 'Little sculptures' thread. Photo and text posted ok and text then edited with no problem. Using Ubuntu (Linux) with Chromium (=Chrome) browser on a laptop.
For the photo - for some time I have had to click on 'insert image' then the 'drop here' rectangle to choose and upload the photo. Also because I prefer to put up thumbnails I go to 'insert thumbnail' and then 'bin' the full photo which has gone into the post automatically. Hope that helps :)
And edit worked on this post too :) :)
 
My .02: Edit function has disappeared for me using Safari 17.1 on my desktop and iOS 17.4.1 on my phone — pretty sure it was still available as recently as this past weekend. (It's disappeared in the dedicated forum app as well, though I most often browse and post here via web browser.)

3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
I also can't edit or delete a post I just made a few mins ago. Realized I'd made a mistake in what I'd said.

Tried on Chrome, Android app and Brave browser, but no option for me on any. When I click report, just brings up the report dialog box

Editing is not possible for those with very few posts (IIRC the post limit is 6, and you have 5). The reason for this was a that a while ago there were bots that were messing things up.

That's correct. The forum was attacked by some spammers about a month ago, so now new menbers need to have to cross a threshold of a certain number of posts for full privileges.

Having given this some thought:-
If the error is minor it might be frustrating but not a serious problem.
If the error is serious then is it possible to report ones own post while under the required number of posts?
If so then a request to the moderators to edit or delete the post could be helpful.
@ivar and moderators - It would be helpful to know if this would work.
