It has always been touch and go for me to change posts with an iPad.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
I messaged heather a few hours ago - seems you can edit the 1st post of a thread if you made the post, but none of the replies 8-( Hopefully they just flipped the wrong switch and it will be back soon.
On a law and tax oriented site, I had the "surveillance" icon added to the top of my posts, ie 'you are being watched' probably due to a few posts where I wasn't hewing to the party line. I'm always willing to correct inaccurate or inappropriate posts if it is pointed out.
So when I post and then go back and make corrections. You can only do that so many times before your post goes poof. Usually 4th or 5th time they wont let you re-post. Since I cant spell I am constantly rewording my posts so as not to seem like a schmuck online posting my stuff! Not sure if that is what your going through.

Just tried to edit (add something) to a post in another thread and could not! Then I found this thread. Apparently it has been like this for awhile. I always make posting errors and need to correct them before folks realized how ignorant I really am.
I wonder if it had to do with people posting something, then getting some likes/agrees on the post and then editing the content to something more nefarious?
If this is a sudden software problem, I'd rather have the mods spending time looking into correcting it than posting explanations here. Since they're not posting explanations here, I must assume that's because they're heeding my desires and fixing it.

Carry ON without the screw icon?
Test
Go try update your TEST
Nope - gear thingie is gone. Guess I'll have to be extra careful about what I say and how I spell it.
Since @Paradisefound was the first to notice, does that mean she broke the forum?
Yes sorry misunderstood original post. I always thought it was a gear and not a screw but can confirm mine is gone too. Probably just a forum glitch.

Yay! Now I have another excuse of not using proper English on this forum.
Why all of a sudden this change that?
I got fat fingers and this forum won't let me edit!

Time to start paying Grammarly for their upgraded version altho the free version is awesome!!!!

Try and edit your post.
I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I’m not sure you realise that what you heard is not what I meant.

I am unable to edit as well.
Maybe it's a side effect of restoring all the CoinFacts images?

Wassup! The gear is gone. I noticed that it was missing but didn't connect the significance. Peace Roy

I look away for just a few moments and bam, PF broke the forum. Good thing I rarely need to use the edit gear.
