What Happened To The Edit Button?

  The features in TN do seem to be getting screwed with, but like the rampant and ridiculous removal of some specific words a few weeks ago - which now appears to have been mostly done away with - maybe the edit function will return. Self-editing is something everyone should do the first time anyway. Typos and auto-correct 'mistakes' are everywhere in here, frustrating to people like me who do want to communicate with both clarity and alacrity. But even I make some mistrakes sometimes! Typing with the thumbs doesn't help, something I'll bet most of those in here are doing most of the time. Just one more way smartphones are destroying the world, causing confusion and miscommunication -- and traffic accidents. Hang that phone up and get yourself a computer!

  I sent a bug report to TT2. You should to. In the mean time, if you're on windows (Not sure if it can be done from Android or Apple) and your comfortable with making a html change, you can add it back on a case by case basis.
  
  From the forum, find your post you want to edit. Highlight something in it. right click and select "inspect". From the page that opens, scroll down a bit until you find the series of lines

  It apparently didn't like some of the special characters I used for the rest of the post, so I'll try again without them:
  
  Find the post you want to edit, right click and select inspect
  
  From the line that's highlighted in the window that's open, click the three dots in the line below that starts ul class
  
  For edit, find the second li class = line and right click on it. Select edit attribute. Add the word member between owner and admin. Exit out of the inspect screen and the edit link will now be there.
  
  Same process to remove a post, but one li line down.

  In the past when they have been tinkering with the code in the backend of the site the edit has disappeared but returned when the site revisions are complete. No guarantee that is the case here but thats what I have observed in the past.

  I'm starting to notice even more issues. Now I get logged out several times a day. The search feature seems to be on the fritz. Every few days I'll try to check the newest sign up trying flag fakes, which usually seems like most of them, but the search doesn't get any results.
  
  I have however noticed that all the spam messages, that I've tried to delete for years, are finally gone. But I still have the flag showing 3 unread messages.

I just noticed I was redirected to the "beta" site, and when that happens, I test some of the known issues. John aka cobeachbum

  Hey guys trying to understand the issue, can anyone provide some more clarity.
  As I understand the edit button is missing from forum posts? Or are you unable to edit -] Save?

  Any error messages?

  What device/browser are you using that this is occurring on.

  The edit and delete (remove?) buttons are missing. In the coding, you need to add "member" to these functions for the button(s) to appear.
  
  Chrome, Brave, and Edge on Windows 10 and Brave on Android.

  Has anyone running this forum figured out how to enable us to edit and deleted our own posts?

  I haven't seen anything but do wish it would get fixed. You can totally screw up a post with little to no effort by simply mis-typing a word. TT1 did ask in an earlier post on this thread about the problem; I hope he gets it fixed sooner rather than later.

  Something that I do when typing a long, involved post is to do it in *MS Word* in a word processing program. I type it all up, proof read it, spell check & whatever and then copy / paste. If the font / size looks a little off, I delete what I just copied and try another one until it works & then save. It has worked well in the past but havent tried it recently. Just a thought for another option.
