Hi,
I used to be able to edit my posts. But I no longer have an edit button. Why?

Don, it is only temporary. With any luck it will be back soon.

Hahahah. True. Seems the edit button is one of those things you do not miss until it is gone.

Hi,
Another software upgrade feature that entailed removing good features was the sudden inability of the tags to function. I used to be able to pick the tag buttons to enhance my text or to link urls. Now, I have to manually enter those codes. Perhpas, I am the only one having these problems.

I liked the Deck much better, feature-wise, the way it worked months ago. I hope Jim isn't spending a great deal of money on the removal of these features.

I am a moderator on 2 other boards with the same software and this is not an issue... edit or tagging

Jim-- Since I can't edit I meant to say "semi annual" , not bi annual.

Hi,
Oh, I've had this sort of thing happen to me before.

Mr. Austin, would you please ask them to permit us to edit our posts and to make the tag buttons work again?


Thanks
