BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / 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!

Love it!
Hey, I am a native soeaker who claims to have excellent language skills, but my typos are both legendary and atrocious!

And just to prove my point(and I am wearing my glasses!)...SPEAKER!

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.

**Posted by besleybean** September 8, 2014 6:27 am

I just have the quote button...which as you all know, I never use anyway!

Which would help, sometimes...

There's only the option "Quote" now. Nothing else. Just like it's not my post.

I just wrote to helpdesk. I hope they are going to fix it soon.

**Posted by SusiGo** September 8, 2014 7:00 am

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.

Thank you for trying to help, Susi. :-)

**Posted by Liberty** September 8, 2014 9:42 am

Yes, thank you!

**Posted by Sherlock Holmes** September 8, 2014 10:20 am

It should be fixed now, folks.

I don't know why it wasn't working, seeing as it always has in the past. *shrugs*

**Posted by SusiGo** September 8, 2014 10:51 am

Thank you for fixing it, boss.

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.

Hate to be the party pooper but I still only have the quote button.
Is there anything I need to do?

**Posted by Harriet** September 8, 2014 12:49 pm

Same here, tonnaree, mine isn't fixed yet either

**Posted by SolarSystem** September 8, 2014 1:24 pm

And the 'delete'-button is also still missing.

**Posted by Harriet** September 8, 2014 1:26 pm

Oh right, how could I not see that? Both still missing ...

**Posted by SusiGo** September 8, 2014 1:28 pm

Just tweeted the boss.

**Posted by Sherlock Holmes** September 8, 2014 1:30 pm

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.
