I can't edit my messages

[Riverside]

Hi,

I can't edit my messages. When I try i get an error like " You are not allowed to edit this message". Why ? I am logged in and its my message.

Edit : Wow i just realized that i can edit in this forum but i still can not in overclocking forum. How come ?

Are you using the US or UK site?

 

[Riverside]

Yes i am using the uk site

That's your problem. The UK site has a number of bugs which don't exist on the US site, including that one. You'll also notice that the quick edit doesn't work, you just get a cancel button. The website engineers are working on these bugs but were only recently told about them.

I've seen the "can't edit" comment so often from new posters that I thought it was a requirement that you had to have a certain post count before the edit feature was enabled.

I don't think so. I can edit my messages in this forum. But I can't in Overclocking forum. I have the same post counts in total for both forums right ?

Maybe I should try US site...

 

[Riverside]

Same problem in US site too

I haven't had that issue in the US site I don't think.

If you have a problem, try switch sites 😉

This wouldn't happen on an Aussie site I tell ya.

 

[amdfangirl]

I tell ya, we should should have randomizer program the Aussie site...

Then when THG's advertising profit goes to chocolate...

I still can't edit my messages in overclocking forum but i can in this forum. Why ? Why ? Why ? Does anyone have any logical explanation ?

The question has been asked many times, but I've not seen a good answer yet. It's a real pain!

 

[randomizer]

The answer is "it is being worked on".

 

[Ijack]

That's not a "good" answer!

 

[randomizer]

Then what kind of answer do you want?

 

[amdfangirl]

It can't happen?

how about "were copying the code from the working forum, give us 10 minutes"

 

[amdfangirl]

how 'bout... no response?

How long can it take to fix? This has been going on for months now on the UK site... 🙁

Some of the UK site bugs I reported they didn't know about, and they are working on a few at a time. The logout bug (where session cookies aren't cleared) especially will take some time to fix.

i could write a brand new forum faster than they are fixing the bugs in this one.

So this is pointing to the need for a proper bug tracking system, maybe something where we can see expected fixes and click to add ourselves to the list of affected users. If people are reporting bugs here on the forum and the developers do not know about them then clearly the present system is not working to well.

Yes.
