Can't edit!

darelldd · 04-13-2008, 01:24 AM

Aggh! So frustrating. Sometimes out of the blue, I simply cannot edit a post. I make the changes and click save. The thing just spins forever. Will never actually save. I can post a new reply, but can't edit my old one (Unless I remove all content and just put back a few words). I can remove the whole content and re-paste my post... and it still won't save.

Seems to just do this randomly, and it drives me more nuts than I already am!

I think I've reported it before... and since it just happened to me twice, I figured I'd report it again.

You're not alone...hopefully Danny can get to it.

I've also experienced this problem. It's quite irritating at times ....

ditto....same here, anyone using a MAC tho?

Next time that failure happens, try doing the same edit as an Advance Edit. I think that for some reason, Advance Edit doesn't fail as often as the normal Edit. Perhaps it's happenstance, but Advance Edit hasn't failed for me yet.

Same experiences for me in editing. As Tom (Boo) already suggested hit the "advanced" button - it has worked for me.

Ooh. good tip. I'll give that a shot next time. Thanks.

Yeah Quick Edit doesn't seem to work for me (maybe it's b/c the Quick Reply isn't there either and maybe when Danny removed the Quick Reply, he forgot to remove the Quick Edit). Just used the "Advanced Edit"

**Danny** · 04-15-2008, 09:50 AM

I actually think the problem with the Quick Edit is somehow linked the problem we're having with the Quick Reply. Something with the AJAX calls, I think. I've been putting off spending hours looking for a solution since vBulletin is supposed to be releasing 3.7 soon and if it continues after that software upgrade then I'll really dive into it.

But for now the best work-around I've found is the use the Advanced Edit.

Actually, I might just go ahead and remove the Quick Edit option...

Probably not such a bad idea...

The oddest part for me is that it won't allow me to edit out some type-o's in a huge piece that I've just spent an hour on, but it WILL allow me to cut 99% of it out and post the remaineder as an edit!

** editing for fun to add this.

** Is the quick edit now gone? All I can do is click the "edit" button - as I never before used advanced edit... is this what's happening now?
