Can't edit posts

Platform discussions

I can’t add a 4th reply to a post here on the community site. The system tells me I should edit an old post instead. Okay, but I can’t figure out how to edit old posts. If I delete a post, it still counts against the 3.

Hey @mgambrell!

Sorry to hear this :frowning:

Would you be happy to share a screenshot so we can see exactly what’s happening when you attempt to edit a community post?

I can’t attempt to do it. I can’t even figure out how to do it.
EDIT: - WHAT??? I HAVE TO SELECT THE TEXT AND THEN CLICK EDIT? NEVER HAVE I EVER SEEN THIS BEFORE
EDIT 2: WHAT??? I HAVE TO SELECT -ALL- THE TEXT?
EDIT 3: Will it let me do this?
EDIT 4: How about this?

And yet it still doesn’t work. Here’s a picture of me trying to edit that other post:

I have also responded to your comment, so please let me know if you are able to reply to my comment!

I can’t edit that comment. When I select the text, I don’t get an edit prompt. And there’s no pencil icon. I can edit the post I just posted though (the reply you requested)

I can see the reply went through - I have also deleted one of your comments to allow for an additional comment on that post. Can you try commenting once more? :pray:

OK, well I really just wanted to spam complaints so deleting comments to make room for others is counterproductive. BUT OK, at least I was able to post an update about how it’s still broken. Thanks.

I am investigating the comment limit internally to better understand why this might be happening. That said, in regard to your feature request, for some background, every quarter we take the features with the top votes to our development team for a response. As such, the greater the votes the better in order to get this request on our developers radar. We encourage you to share the request around to get the votes up on your request :pray:
