Sometimes, when you want to edit an already exisitng post (to correct a typo or the likes), the message does not appear in the edit-window, even after several retries; you have to explicitely paste and copy the orginal message into that window then to edit it. I have no idea why this happens sometimes; it certainly is not a general rule, but my estimation is that in about 5% of the cases it does happen.

5 % means, that you tried to edit each post you made so far, and 5 times it happened to you, that it didn't work.

 

I hardly ever notice this problem, but I do have the same problem with the Quotation button, where it's impossible to quote someone directly. Only happens in some forums, not in all.

I've experienced the same problem as well. It only comes occasionally, though.

I have the same problem : I can't edit my posts and I can't quote directly in some of the forums.
