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.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
