"Edit" option missing

Damojo

Is it just for me, or has the "Edit" option in the "More" menu gone missing?

I used to be able to edit my original post (OP) and my comments. A few weeks ago the option to edit my OP disappeared. Today, the option to edit my comments has disappeared, too.

My ADHD sees me make frequent mistakes in my writing, but my Autism helps me spot many of those mistakes and want to correct them before I die of shame (metaphorically). I usually correct most of them before I hit "Post", but I like to use the "Edit" option to correct some of the more confusing mistakes that inevitably slip through. I find the lack of the "Edit" option to be a cause of some minor distress.

  • I make mistakes too, which you sometimes point out. My reasons for this are not being able to see the tiny words easily on my screen and ADHD.  

    I can edit my posts up to the point of a reply being posted. I suspect the system is designed that way so that people can’t change the meaning of their original post because that could make the replies seem nonsensical.
