Why can't I edit my posts any longer? Weird.

No problem creating posts and making comments, but once I hit ENTER, we're done here. Cleared cookies, Firefox on PC. The hell?

Just tried editing this post, headline and comments, ignored, no change.

Like, the edit button doesn't appear? Or it does, but clicking it doesn't change the post/comment into an editable field? Or it does but hitting "save" does nothing? Or it appears to save, but refreshing the page still shows the old content? Or does it give you an error message? Or what?
In my experience, I will say Lemmy-UI isn't the best about displaying errors to the user. Like, sometimes things go wrong and it doesn't tell you something went wrong. It just acts like you never hit the button. If I were you, I'd look around in developer tools. Hit F12 to get into it, go to the network tab, try to edit a post, and theoretically something should show up red in the network tab. Maybe click on the red thing, poke around, and see if you can find an error message either in the response body or in a response header or something. If that doesn't work, retry while in the console tab and see if any useful message comes up there.
If you get any sort of error message, definitely feel free to post it in this thread. Someone might have an idea what to do.
One warning: posting the wrong sort of data from Developer Tools can compromise your account. So I'd recommend against posting screenshots of your Developer Tools window. Probably pasting only human-readable text (as text, not in a screenshot) would be best.
Godspeed, OP. Hope we can help you out.

Good advice! Hadn't thought of F12. But no, I get no error, nothing is visible. I edit the post, save it, screen refreshes, shows the unedited post. Weird.

Same thing has been happening to me for the past couple days.

wrote last edited by [email protected]The page refreshes? That's odd in itself. Lemmy-UI never refreshes the whole page on editing for me.

I'm wrong, only the post refreshes. Network tab shows all 200s on the POSTs and GETs. Not seeing anything in the console view when I enter an edit.
