Windows 11, Chrome - OK
Windows 11, Firefox - no edit, but I can hide the post
Windows 11, Edge - same as Firefox

chrome on an android tablet: no good
firefox on an android tablet: editing function works just fine

I’m on Safari on my iPad, and all is well.

Ax, do you have any idea what might be going on with this?

Sorry, I haven’t been able to pin this down to anything specific yet.

It's not an emergency, and no apologies necessary! I just saw you logged on this morning and thought I'd ping you.

As always, your efforts are appreciated.

Have the same problem. Using Microsoft Edge.
With Chrome I only get a text version with no ability to do those things or reply.

Chas, my problem with Brave only displaying text (what I referenced earlier as being "messed up") has been fixed. Could you check Chrome and see if it's ok, or if you still have an issue?

Interesting. My edit/delete, reply, and report post icons seem to be gone now, but they really aren't. This is in Brave, which is Chrome-based. Firefox is still fine.

If I hover over the area where they should be, I can see that my cursor changes from an arrow to pointing finger, which indicates that I'm over a clickable field. If I leave the cursor in finger pointing mode, most of the time a text box pops up that says "Reply or Delete Message", "Reply with Quote", or "Report This Post". The icons are not visible.

I wonder if this is related to another issue I've been experiencing off and on recently where some emojis just appear as a small square instead of the actual emoji.

I saw Matt logged on a little while ago, so help is on the way.

eta: When the window to insert an emoji in a post comes up, most of them are the unviewable squares.

Test emoji:

The emoticon problem happens in Brave but not in Firefox. On my Windows laptop.

One that I can see in both Brave and Firefox:

One that is an unviewable square in Brave, but fine in Firefox:

Sorry for the problems. Guess our software is getting pretty long in the tooth.

Well how about that. It works.
