HOW TO QUESTIONS

Bella8888 — Sat, 22 Nov 2025 05:56:38 GMT

1/ How do I edit a post. When I go to the three dot menu, I hit edit but it does not take the edit, just bounces back to the original post.

2/ Can I delete a post? If so, how do I do that?

Thanks!

Edited to Add!

HA! I highlight first what I want to edit, then click on edit and the post pops into edit mode. Not sure how delete works yet.

That's exactly how it works. Not sure why it isn't working for you. Strange.

Yeah, doesn't work for me for either deleting or editing. It is strange. I use a MacAir laptop computer.

There may be a certain number of posts needed before those options work. I seem to remember something about that. Maybe someone else knows.

I actually wondered about that possibility. It is a wonder why newbies can't delete??

See above in OP. I just figured out the edit part - but not the delete part.

If "delete" doesn't work for you...you can BACKSPACE your post OUT. di

I think I've seen others do that here. Maybe if the occasion arises, I'll do that until I figure it out.

Thanks @Desertdi

@Bella8888

The reason why "delete" doen't always work...is if there have been REPLIES to your original post. (This has to do with the way Q has been programmed....not your fault.)

You can also click "Report Inappropriate Content" at the bottom left of your post, and ask a moditor to remove the entire thread if it has become argumentative, or there have been personal attacks, incorrect information, etc. di

I can't edit a post either. It just doesn't work. I've tried multiple browsers and devices and it just doesn't work for me. I've given up.

I found if a post of mine has been replied to I can't edit or delete it. Also, after a certain amount of time ( don't know what it is ) I can't delete or edit.

@Bella8888

For some reason, the 'edit' and 'delete' options don't work for some people. And on some posts, those options aren't even available for me.

When you hit the three dots and tap 'edit', it should take you back to your original post in rich text. Then you make your edits, then tap 'post' (or whatever it says) like making a first time post.

Deleting is the same. Tap the three dots. If the option for deleting is available, you will see it. Tap that, then you should get a confirmation page asking you if you want to delete. Tap that and the post should be gone.

If you're on a phone, all bets are off now. You don't have many of the options that those using tablets or computers do.🤷‍♀️

I use a Mac Book Air. When using Safari the edit delete wouldn't work. I switched to Chrome and now I can edit and delete.

@Bella8888. You can't delete your post if it has any response on it. Only the mods can delete it if and when they get a round to it.

There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to edit. What you do is make the changes desired in the existing post, then click "post". You must be doing something wrong.

@Bella8888 I'm on a MacAir too. Sometimes I have to restart the computer if it's giving me weird problems then they go away. Give that a try.

I thought you changed your color to orange @Bella8888 ? Decided to stay pink?

I’m on my phone reading and I can still edit if needed. What has changed for me is I’m no longer able to reply to someone and have their response in my reply, which is frustrating because I’ve always liked that so we can see what someone is referring to. This started when we couldn’t get into Community Chat easily. I wonder why that changed.
