I am unable to edit any posts i make an error on . I know you only have limited time but whilst the edit option is shown if i click on it i just get a loading icon spinning and nothing else happens . Thanks in advance .

Not sure. Is it still happening? Is it just a case of clearing your cache or browsing data?

You can report the post (red triangle under the posters name) and have a Moderator make the changes for you.

I regularly get the spinning icon.
It seems to be a "waiting" for more downloads from advertising sites.

I don't know why they take so long to find and download.

Thanks Andrew that could be it then ads take forever to load sometimes unfortunately i have a short attention span so i don't wait for more than a couple of minutes when attempting an edit before giving up.

If you contribute to the site then you can hide ads.

Might be a UK problem, or connection. The ads load fast here in this part of the USA. That has not always been the case. But I can't understand why that would block editing.

This morning while posting to ONE Thread there was a long delay waiting for the post to arrive. Then it finally came back and said thanks for posting and at the bottom of my screen it said "waiting for diyaudio.com..."
then I gave up waiting and clicked back to go to a new Thread.

This time the delay was somewhere in DIYaudio and not the adverts.

I use lots of forums that have edit functions using this browser with no issues so i don't understand it either,
joys of the internet i guess.

Guess i was just impatient . Just got edit working on the 15 song album thread by repeatedly bashing the edit icon

If you break it, you pay for it.

The old technologies still work ... when all else fails reach for the hammer

I like to call it the 'persuader'

If i edit am i meant to put a reason why or is that optional ? admitted i'm dumb regularly could get a little depressing
