      Anyone else run into this issue? The last few times I have tried to edit a post, after hitting submit, the post disappears. If I click on my profile, though, I can still see it in my activity, which lets me just copy it and repost it. Weirdly, the forum still says that I posted though. It displays “Cloaked Myster 49 seconds ago” or whatever on it, even though the post isn’t there. So, it basically acts like I posted it, except that the post just isn’t there.

        I haven’t, but I haven’t tried to edit anything recently.

              How do you even edit a post? I haven’t figured that out yet. And how do you delete a post?

                I don’t think you can delete one. You can only edit a post for a few minutes after it’s posted. If someone posts after your post, you automatically can’t edit it.

                The edit button is at the top right of the post, next to the ‘quote’ button.

                  Thanks!

                  I just literally figured that out about ten seconds ago and edited a post I was making and it deleted. Woops.

                    Yeah, it actually seems somewhat unpredictable. I’ve edited a few posts just now that didn’t get deleted, so I don’t know what’s up.

                      Oh yeah that’s happened to me before. Idk why. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ If I have to edit a post, I’ll just edit it, copy it, then submit the edit just in case it deletes.
