James Cridland posted on Thursday 18th October 2012 at 16:09If you post a message in this discussion area, you can edit it – until someone else posts something in reply. Except some people report not seeing this feature. I can’t replicate this, so I’d love it if you’d test it.
1. Post a reply to this topic – mention “this is unedited” somewhere.
2. As long as nobody else has replied, there should be a little “edit this post” link next to your name. Click it, edit the post to say “this has been edited”, and repost your comment.
If you don’t see the ‘edit this post’ link, could you reply again (as another comment) letting me know? (That would help, so I can then chase your account in the system).
Mass brawl as everyone replies “this is un-edited” at the same time.
And re-edited.
This has been edited. Seems fine for me.
Completely understand your desire to fix code that is misbehaving.

Well, that’s interesting. A LinkedIn, Facebook and Google user all report no problems. Thank you. That’s very helpful. If others feel that they’d like to have a go, you’re welcome – though I can’t quite see why it would be an intermittent bug.
It’s possible that you could log in using Facebook, post, then log out, and then login using Google – unless you use the same email address on each, we won’t spot that you’re the same person. That’s one user edge case that I can think of: but the reports I’ve seen don’t appear to have this issue.
But can’t edit Google content when logged in via Facebook, as I’d expect really.
Edit: But I can edit Facebook with Facebook.
Edit 2: I can edit this via LinkedIn though!

Always happy to break… erm… test stuff :-)

No problems here.
