Bug in Forum, can't edit comments!

Jump to solution

Am I the only one who can't edit my comments in the forum? Sorry I have no idea how to label this!

Are you normally able to? 

I've seen people say before that sometimes they can and sometimes they can't, it seems to be a bug and not consistent. 

A few months ago they tried rolling out some new changes to the forums and one of them was that no one could edit anything. There was a lot of bugs in that new formatting that it was quickly rolled back (like within a few hours everything had been reversed). 

*Just editing to test if I could still. With the exception of that roll out a few months ago, I've personally never come across the bug of not being able to edit my comments.

Try clearing your cache files and restarting your browser.

You can only edit for one hour after it is posted.

Some people have noted not even having that hour, they aren't able to edit at all sometimes.

I can edit and I am on Edge.

Safari seems to be problematic.  I've heard others make comments of things they cannot do that I can do.

The forums have been wonky for a couple of weeks.  Sub comments on a posting don't post under that comment, they post under the last post and numerous people's sub comments post under the same post making things really confusing.  I couldn't scroll in the forums at all for about half an hour this morning.  I'm not surprised you can't edit a post.  There is something going on here but I don't know what it is.

The forums are sloooow today. Hit a like button and nothing. Hit it again and it unlikes the post. 

Reply and nothing. Then it pops up as Success! 

Just another day in Etsy-land. : )
