I have had this problem recently too. Its kind of random....sometimes I'm able to edit my posts and other times the "edit" option is completely gone. :huh:

I did check to make sure that I'm logged on when this is happening and thats not the problem......the edit button just disappears!

Scott did say that he updated the forum software just recently, and wanted us to let him know if we experienced problems.

The other day my edit buttons were gone, too.

So, I guess I better let him know that it is still ongoing.

I noticed that also. I tried to go back and correct some spelling errors from my posts and could not find the edit box. A speller of my caliber really depends on edit and spell check. :blink:

It used to be that you could edit any post (of your own) at any time. It now seems that there is a window during which recent posts can be edited, and once this window expires no more edits are allowed. I don't know the exact limit, but it seems to be somewhere between one and two hours.

I don't know if this is Scott's intent or an accident. I have seen examples, including one on this board, of a disgruntled user maliciously editing posts long after they were made, replacing the original post completely with gibberish.

Well, if that is the case, it may in principle not be a bad idea. I just feel that if I find a spelling mistake when reading one of my older posts and can't fix it, it makes me feel anxious and inadequate (I am a perfectionist). Good thing I usually don't go back and read old posts! :wacko:

Hi Everyone,

I can't reproduce the missing Edit button issue, so I'm not sure if it is a bug or something else. It is possible that when this happens you have somehow gotten logged out, perhaps because of a security setting in your fire wall or browser that is blocking our site's cookies. If our site cannot communicate with your computer's cookies it could cause you to have the Guest view, rather than the Member view.

You can now only edit your posts within 36 hours after you submit them. After that time it really doesn't make much sense because few people will see any changes you make. The reason for this new setting is because there have been people who have left the board permanently and deleted all their posts. In one case a person deleted over a thousand posts that spanned over years--many of which would have been very helpful to future visitors. I have no idea why anyone would do this, but it has happened, and in my opinion this isn't a reasonable option--deleting bits and pieces of threads and discussions will only serve to confuse future visitors who find incomplete threads or topics via the search feature.

PS - The edit button will vanish when the post is older than the allowed edit time.

Take care,

Scott

This issue just happened to me today for the first time. I replied in a thread, and upon the new post being displayed, I saw a typo, but no edit button. There didn't appear to be any login issues of any kind. Refreshing the page had no effect.

This post above is less than three hours old, but it does not have an edit button. I am consistently seeing this in posts over two hours old--it is nowhere near the 36 hours Scott mentioned. I am logged in, and this site has full cookie privileges. Im using Firefox 2.0.0.14, but I tried IE just now, and it was the same: no edit button for my 1:05 post.

<< This is an edit done less than a minute after posting >>

<< Still able to edit at 4:58 >>

Scott, thanks for checking in and explaining why old posts can't be edited any more. I am glad you set it this way, because it is a major pain when people are so inconsiderate to delete all their posts when they leave.

But as with others here, I've had the same problem with not being able to edit a post immediately after posting. And no, I NEVER log out. Mind you, sometimes the system logs me out for whatever reason.

But the couple of times I couldn't edit my post I was definitely NOT logged out, as I was also able to do more posting, and the edit button worked on those posts.

There is obviously a bug somewhere in the software that causes this to happen intermittently and unpredictably.

Oh Dear! I was relying on Edit to correct something ......anyway that the edit

button can be reinstated for situations like this? It has been less than 12 hours

since I posted it.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.

      Great question! Even if some individuals with celiac disease don’t experience immediate villi damage from occasional cross-contamination, it’s still strongly recommended to maintain strict avoidance of gluten. The immune response triggered by gluten can vary between individuals, and even small amounts may cause systemic inflammation or other symptoms, even if intestinal damage isn’t immediately detectable. Additionally, repeated exposure—even at low levels—could lead to cumulative harm over time. Strict avoidance of cross-contamination remains the safest approach to prevent long-term complications and ensure overall health. Everyone’s sensitivity differs, so working with a healthcare provider to tailor precautions is ideal.

      You have one gene for Celiac.  You have a second autoimmune disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which is frequently found at a higher rate with Celiac.  HLA genes carry autoimmune disease genes like Celiac and Hashimoto's and diabetes and others.   You have Celiac symptoms of reacting after gluten.  You said "I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches)."  And your anti-thyroid antibodies increase after gluten exposure.  While tTg IgA does not directly attack the thyroid, gluten exposure does trigger the  immune system to produce antibodies against the thyroid in genetically predisposed individuals.  You did not eat sufficient gluten (10 grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum) to raise the autoimmune antibodies to the point they can be measured in the blood, so your blood tests may well be inaccurate.  You could choose to continue the gluten challenge of 10 grams a day for at least two weeks and get retested.   At the very least, you know that gluten is harmful to your thyroid, and because you are genetically predisposed to Celiac disease, a strict gluten free diet would be beneficial for your overall health.

      Thanks @Scott Adams! I guess my question now is: do the celiacs who can get away with regular contamination without villi damage as you mentioned have to be strict about cross-contamination ?
