    unable to edit posts

    So for about 2 weeks i'm unable to edit posts I have made
    If I try it just gets stuck and then doesn't save any of the edits I have made
    It seemed to start when the Random Question box appeared ?
    This happens if I am on Safari (Snow Leopard/ Yosemite) and Firefox (Yosemite) I haven't tried other browsers but everything else appears to be working fine?
    I also am unable to delete posts

    Any ideas ?

    Thanks

      I will try a test or two.
      It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

        Well, my prole identity posted, edited and deleted. And as a superior, I can now see that, as a prole, I deleted my post

          Try not posting for 2/3 years and come back to it and see if that works.

            Trouble with that is that without constantly feeding you with interesting music you might drift off into mixing with dodgy fantasy politics again!
            It's my civic duty to prevent that.

              So the alternative is:

              Get it right first time; and don't regret posting it afterwards …

                There's one poster who would have overtaken Caliban's record number of posts, had he not deleted nearly half his contributions.

                        You make the mistake of assuming that everyone believes in the false binaries we are presented with as choices.

                          And others who would have done the same had they not changed their identity.

                          Nearly half ? Seems unlikely !!


                          Anyway, I imagine that the poster in question sees discretion as the better part of valour......
                          I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

                          I am not a number, I am a free man.
