"Edit" button has disappeared??

It's appeared when I posted this, but not on any of my replies to other posts

Just testing it.

edit ....still working for me.

It might be just a blip, we seem to be get quite a few on here.

The option to edit doesn't last long

Maybe thta's what it is - I can edit posts I've just made but nothing older - need to remember that!

Thaks for the help - I was thinking it was just me

SilverV, it would appear that "the powers that be" have reduced the time you have to edit a posting. I can see that one I did 25mins ago has lost it edit function, when, I'm sure, it used to be a lot longer than that.

I thought you had less than 10 minutes to edit on this forum. It's not long at all.

The edit timeout is 10 minutes now.  If you take too long composing a reply you can also get logged out and it seems as if you have lost what you have just spent ages typing in .... but judicious use of the 'back' function usually recovers your efforts, at least on a PC!

Alternativly if on a pc you can type onto Word then paste it onto reply.

That way if you keep clicking on the CC site it stays live.

Sometimes on the Pad I select and copy before hitting Reply. That way, if the worst happens, it's only necessary to reopen the box and paste the reply in.
