Yes you do need cookies enabled. Gently, but lovingly, place a preferably soft chocolate chip cookie into your colon. An edit button should appear in a window shortly after.
I didn't ask if I needed cookies enabled, I said I DO have cookies enabled , when I push the edit button I am shown the edit page, I then try to edit my post but when I push submit, it says "I am not allowed to edit the post" or whatever.
I had the same problem. You try to edit it and it says "this forum string has already been closed". And it was a new thread that opened like 2 hours before.
I have not had the problem recently. It al started when they did the remake of the forums.
When I first got on Tom's hardware I had no problems. Then they did a revision then some bugs came up. This last "BEST OF MEDIA" update to the forums caused a ton of problems such as these.
I wish they would roll the forums back 2 versions.
