The Case Of The Lost Edit Button
I cannot edit my posts, and I take it from one of the threads that I am not the only one.
I really need this thing because I am not a native speaker and often see mistakes in my posts only after posting. PLUS sometimes I write before I think and definitely need to erase comments from time to time. 
Thank you for taking care!

Re: The Case Of The Lost Edit Button
So do you just have the options to delete or quote? Is that right? I can contact the administration desk and ask about it. For me everything works as usual.

Re: The Case Of The Lost Edit Button
There's only the option "Quote" now. Nothing else. Just like it's not my post.

Re: The Case Of The Lost Edit Button
I just learned that a setting is wrong. I not have the authorisation to change it back so I have contaced the boss. I hope it will be fixed soon.

Re: The Case Of The Lost Edit Button
It should be fixed now, folks.
I don't know why it wasn't working, seeing as it always has in the past. *shrugs*

Re: The Case Of The Lost Edit Button
Thanks for your help, Susi and the boss!
While we´re at it, since a while I have an automatic line break after I use smileys.. it doesn´t show in the source, only in the finished post. I´ve seen other users having the same problem, too.. nothing too serious, but still a bit confusing at times when the text is interrupted in strange places.

Re: The Case Of The Lost Edit Button
Hate to be the party pooper but I still only have the quote button. 
Is there anything I need to do?

Re: The Case Of The Lost Edit Button
The only thing I can say is that maybe it takes a little while to kick in. I have changed and saved the settings, and when I went back in to check, it said that Editing and Deleting was switched on.
If it's still not working in 24 hours, I'll contact support.
