"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.

  • For me the whole site is just playing up. I’ve noticed the edit option doesn’t come up all the time but also no options come up. Also I keep finding when Im writing messages here the site just refreshes and takes me back to the online community Home Screen and I have to find which post I was writing in which is a pain. Also sometimes I can’t even scroll through anything as the site just sticks. Defo not helping my autism

    I think the website is struggling either because of the numbers of visitors to this site or if the website is on a shared server (quite likely) one of the other websites on the same computer might be busy.

    Either way unless the hosting package gets upgraded (costing more money) and the website is transferred to a faster computer that can cope with the server side scripting that this website uses then it is unlikely to improve.

    Saying all that the website seems to be working better today than it was yesterday so something might have been sorted out.

    Well at least it’s improved for you! Mine has been quite bad since I got home but it was bad when I was away but I put that down to Internet at the time. Just hope all gets improved soon enough.
