This is very strange. I can't edit any posts on the first page for this thread. I checked other old posts, dating from a few years ago, but I'm able to edit them. I'm able to edit all new posts, and even the pinned bugs thread in this forum. So I don't think that it's related to how old a post is or if it's pinned.

I don't know what's going on, and I need to be able to edit that thread. please help

I'm sorry for bumping the thread so soon, but a moderator was on the board recently...

can a mod see if they can edit any of the first few posts of mine in the thread? This will hopefully help determine the cause...

I get that sometimes. It refreshes without you refreshing the page.

I think I've figured it out! You can't edit any moved threads, Something in that process broke the edit url, and needs to be fixed

Um, I can some what confirm that you CAN edit moved thread posts. I did it just a few hours ago. Have you tried to edit both kinds of a post?

I have a similar problem considering that I'm unable to edit any of my forum posts. When I click on the dropdown menu, Edit This Post isn't even an option.

EDIT: Wth... ok, apparently in this board I'm able to, but in game boards I'm not.

The game specific boards are shared with GameFAQs, so post editing is disabled in those.
