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.

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
