I'm unable to reproduce the problem. Please let me know if it happens again, maybe another example of the problem will help.

Yes, I see it. Seems to be a problem in IE and FF. I'll see what I can do.

Yes, fairly odd, but hard to find the source of the problem, which could be at the source, the destination, or somewhere in between.

Hi Stephen,
Sorry you're having difficulty. Can you provide some additional information:
If you can provide this information I'll see what I can figure out.

Yep, I see it. I was wondering if anyone noticed but me. This happens because thread titles are stored *with* the HTML, and stripping off the HTML isn't easy so rather than doing it wrong I don't do it.
I recently wrote some code that does the HTML stripping correctly because it's actually doing a parse, but I'm not yet using it everywhere I need to. This will be coming, probably sometime this spring.

Catholic Scientist writes: Also, maybe you should consider putting it somewhere else and being smaller. It definately should be so close to the submit button. Good point. I'll put this on the list - it sounds like generally good advice to not have the "Offer my pearls to the multitude" button next to the "Never mind" button. But it might be a while until I get to it, so let me pass on one thing I find that helps me lose stuff less often, which is to occasionally hit Ctrl-A Ctrl-C while I'm composing a message.

Yeah, I know - you're using FF, right?
I'll try to look at this at the next opportunity, keep reminding me once I week if you don't see a fix.

Can you describe the symptoms? For example, is the problem that you see no edit button? Or do you submit the edit but then don't see the changes? Can you edit in other threads?

I was unable to reproduce the problem on my development machine, I'll try again at the web site.

I am unable to reproduce the problem in the Bush's Shia Islamic War Vs Obama's Sunni War thread. Is that the right thread? If so, can you check if the problem still exists? Some of the changes in the recent update were improvements to the edit code.

Please attempt to edit one of those messages again, then cut-n-paste the error message you get into a reply to this message. Please be sure to include the numbers at the end.

That's perfect. I've added more data, could you please repeat?

Okay, thanks, hope you can stay with me. Can you provide the URL from the address box of the browser when this happens? I'm expecting to see "m=0" or even just "m=" as one of the CGI parameters. Once we have that nailed down we'll go from there.

Should be fixed, please give it a try, let me know if not.
Thanks for your help. By the way, what browser and version are you using? --Percy Edited by Admin, : Change author.
