Editing of posts turned off?

Too many and too often!
I've made a couple of posts this morning. I wanted to add a few words to one of them and discovered that there is no option to edit the post. Is this a temporary glitch or a permanent change? Or am I missing something glaring obvious?

I just made a test and it works for me. Edit was available on the menu, brought up the old text, changed a punctuation mark, saved, and saw that the edit took affect.

Edit: This was with an Android smartphone and the Chrome browser. And, if it makes a difference, I'm a donating member.

Bradypus,
If you tap Report beneath your text the possibility to Edit or Delete should pop up.
 
Altus BALI Sleeping bag liner
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Let me try......

And this is an edit. And it invites me to delete too.

On a Mac using Chrome.

Just tried on an Android phone with no success. So not linked to the device or operating system. I'm assuming it is an issue with the forum software and some member accounts. One for @ivar I think!

Edit: Working now! Thanks @ivar!

I’ve noticed that there is a time constraint on how long the Edit option is available. Don’t know how long it is but i do know that the edit option is not available forever.

I hope the edit function works for me cuz I fat finger on my Smartphone quite often.

I have just tried over on the 'Little sculptures' thread. Photo and text posted ok and text then edited with no problem. Using Ubuntu (Linux) with Chromium (=Chrome) browser on a laptop.
For the photo - for some time I have had to click on 'insert image' then the 'drop here' rectangle to choose and upload the photo. Also because I prefer to put up thumbnails I go to 'insert thumbnail' and then 'bin' the full photo which has gone into the post automatically. Hope that helps
And edit worked on this post too
 
My .02: Edit function has disappeared for me using Safari 17.1 on my desktop and iOS 17.4.1 on my phone — pretty sure it was still available as recently as this past weekend. (It's disappeared in the dedicated forum app as well, though I most often browse and post here via web browser.)

I also can't edit or delete a post I just made a few mins ago. Realized I'd made a mistake in what I'd said.

Tried on Chrome, Android app and Brave browser, but no option for me on any. When I click report, just brings up the report dialog box

Editing is not possible for those with very few posts (IIRC the post limit is 6, and you have 5). The reason for this was a that a while ago there were bots that were messing things up.

That's correct. The forum was attacked by some spammers about a month ago, so now new menbers need to have to cross a threshold of a certain number of posts for full privileges.
Explanation on this thread: https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/sorry-for-the-spam-overnight.86068/
 
Having given this some thought:-
If the error is minor it might be frustrating but not a serious problem.
If the error is serious then is it possible to report ones own post while under the required number of posts?
If so then a request to the moderators to edit or delete the post could be helpful.
@ivar and moderators - It would be helpful to know if this would work.
