Lost my edit button

I made a new post, did an edit to correct a link to a video, that worked, then tried to do a second edit to add a still photo as well. Got a red error message saying I'm not a moderator, and my edit button has disappeared from my old posts. Durned computers!

Hopefully that is on purpose in the web code to prevent someone from going in and deleting posts from the past. If you need to go edit something after a specific time you can talk to the moderators to do that for you. Makes sense to me.

Ok.not a problem, thanks for the reply.

Norm,

Sometimes deleting your cache and a simple reboot works . Did th "edit" button come back?

Nope, didn't come back George. No big issue. I don't want to clear my cache unless I really need to, because it seems when I do that I lose quite a lot of things, including some automatic logins on some websites.

I think it's time related, because my original post in this thread had an edit button when I started the thread 2-3 days back, but now it's gone.

**Edit: this new post I just made has an edit button like it should. I'll take a look later to see if it's still there.

I just went back to my latest post, 16 minutes after posting. The button is gone.
