    Problem editing posts

    I have been having a problem editing my posts for about a week now. I have tried at work, my home computer, and iPhone. It will not correct the post on any of them.

    I can correct it, but when you go to save, it doesn't ever save. There is a little spinning thing that comes on to the left of the save button and keeps spinning, but never stops. I have to click cancel and get out of it.

    I see that I am not the only one. Craig mentioned it in a post as well.

    Any ideas Steve...anybody?

    I thought it was my internet connection! I found that after hitting save and getting the "little spinning thang",...and then hitting go advanced,..... then save,..... it worked.

    Fezz fuzzy

    I've had this problem too. You all will notice, when you click to edit the post a new window opens in order to do it, with a "reason" for editing window. Logic would have you click on the "save" button to the left of "go advance-delete-and cancel buttons. Fight this temptation and cast your eyes down the page to another "edit post" button conveniently located to the left of the "reply- reply with quote" buttons. Click that one and you'll never see a fezz fuzzy again.

    Are you implying that it actually stops?

    Fezz, you shouldn't make mistakes. Get it right the first time.

    I had that problem too. I attributed it to my using Google Chrome browser since they both started the same day. Firefox does it too.

    It is fixed now, BTW. You can edit again in the normal way without having to go to the Advanced screen.
