Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,671 | Liz - I hope getting rid of your cookies took care of the problem. I went ahead and got rid of my cookies. . . . I always get rid of cookies or anthing too old in my refrigerator, so I figured I should probably do it on my computer as well. I also changed my temporary password to a regular one (cuz I saw that Davidcpa did that, so why not me?) I just went to my profile page. By the "edit" button, do you mean "Preview Reply" just below where you type a reply to a msg? I haven't yet found the "Edit" and what I see is what is at the bottom of each (already) posted message and the "Email Post" plus other selections like "reply, Quote, etc" If I find "edit" before you do, will let you know. (Maybe it's on the profile page?)
Other than that, everything has been working great and just clicking and exploring everything to see what it does brings home how amazing this new board is!! Kudos to everyone and their hard work for making this possible!

Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | The easiest way I have found is to click on the tools, Then scroll to the internet options and then delete..You can get rid of cookies temp files. and history. Only takes a few seconds. Just click on delete for each one .

Joined: May 2006 Posts: 720 Likes: 1 | My guess, Anne-Marie (and I'll be able to confirm this when I post this), is that the "edit" button shows up ONLY on your own posts -- that's how it works on some other message boards where I post.

April 2006: Husband dx by dentist with leukoplakia on tongue. Oral surgeon's biopsy 4/28/06: Moderate dysplasia; pathology report warned of possible "skip effect." ENT's excisional biopsy (got it all) 5/31/06: SCC in situ/small bit superficially invasive. Early detection saves lives.

I have this in my 'Bookmarks' and it just loads automatically every time.

Joined: May 2006 Posts: 720 Likes: 1 | I also tried clearing cookies and logging back in. Still no Edit button, and the only info in the FAQ says messages can be edited up to 60 minutes after posting -- but doesn't say how to do so. I have also checked My Profile and My Preferences -- can't find anything relevant.
An aside: The default time for the board is now Pacific Standard Time in the US (it had been an hour earlier, as I recall) -- that's GMT -8 for those outside the US. So you may need to adjust the information on My Preferences to get the correct time.

Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 3,552 | I am looking at the "edit" button directly under your signature line. There have been a few glitches to be sure but the new forum software is much faster and I am finding it easier to navigate. Many kudos to Chester who is behind the scences tweaking all of this stuff (and Brian as well).
