Nope. I had nothing to do with that....if it really happened. :rolleyes:
In that case I'll blame it on the fact that I've recently been experiencing lost (or blank) selective text on the SKMB. I'm still running Windows XP and my browser keeps yelling me to get into this decade because it doesn't support XP anymore. When I notice it I shut down the browser and have to restart it. The SKMB seems to be the only website where it happens, though. :umm:

That's above my skill set. Maybe Jordan has an answer. He'd also need to know what browser you're using.

It's happening again. I do not have the 'Edit' feature. I do have the options to 'Report' 'Edit' '+Quote' and 'Reply'... but no 'Edit.' I took a screen shot and saved it on my computer but don't know how to post it from the computer. I've always used photobucket to post my pics here, but stopped using them now that the charge an arm and a leg. I use Google Chrome which not longer supports XP.

I'm guessing you mean that you can see Edit but it does not give you the option to edit when you click on it. Is that right?
Can you copy/paste the screenshot into a text box (start a thread in the Website area, though, please)?

No, I can't see the 'Edit' feature. Just tried clicking on the area it has always been located in order to fix my 'not' to 'no' but nothing happens. But if I go to something that is not Hot Topics I do see and can use the 'Edit' feature. Maybe Jordan is screwing with me. :)

When did it start happening? Anyone else having this issue?

Will do, but how do you post a screenshot from your computer? I have always used photobucket, but can't use them anymore without paying hundreds of $$$.

I use a Mac so how I do it wouldn't be the same. Once I take the screenshot in Preview, all I have to do is copy it and then paste it into the text box.

I have no idea how to do it in Windows.

It might have happened when Jordan changed the permissions for Hot Topics so that new members have to have 100 posts in other threads first. Just a guess on my part.
That makes sense.

I also tried the +Quote for "I think it's 30 minutes. I don't have a limit on my time to edit." and it doesn't seem to be working either.
It's 10 minutes.

You can always just give me moderation rights until Jordan fixes it. ;):)
