Why doesn't the edit button work?
Scott - why doesn't the edit button work all the time??
Brings up a blank box even though the post shows in the thread. Only seems to happen in posts with links or copy/paste pics.
On a desktop, W8, IE10.
11.28.14

so many times, the program that runs the Forum doesn't know if your an 'active' member or not.

Charlie-
You are currently setup with Enhanced Editor Toolbar (WYSIWYG) within Editor Interface . . . meaning you should have the capability to perform edits.
Obviously you are unable to edit, so I'm unsure of the issue. Outside of Scott digging deeper into the global issue, I could change your status to the Standard Editor Toolbar in an attempt to focus on where the issue seems to be . . .
And you Edit Permissions are set to "Yes" in all forums.

This option determines the editor toolbar that is present when this user is composing a post. The editor toolbar provides shortcuts making it easy to add BB code elements to posts without knowing the codes themselves.
The standard editor toolbar provides shortcuts to all BB code tags, inserting the final code directly into the post.
The WYSIWYG editor toolbar provides the same functionality as the standard editor toolbar, plus it shows you what the post will look like instead of just showing you the final code... hence WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get).

As long as I don't paste in outside info - in other words if I am just my entering my own typing like right now - I can edit fine.
But its not just editing my posts that I'm having occasional problems with...
Sometimes when I 'quote' to make a reply to someone else's post that has linked material pasted, the quote box is completely empty. This happened last night with my reply to denlem's weather thread post (he had a weather forecast pic posted in his post). I had to close the quote box, simply hit reply and enter my own text, post it, copy denlem's sentence from the thread itself, then edit my post and paste in his sentence and add the quote brackets manually.

The only other browser I have is Opera and it lets me edit everything aok, but I don't like to use it. My preferred browser is IE.
Just providing as much info as I can for the tech wizards to fix whatever.
Thanx again.

Update -
The post editing issues with IE 10 is a known problem caused by one of our ad partners. There shouldn't be any issues with any other browsers . . . Unfortunately, we're kind of at the ad partner's mercy, because they won't give our tech team the permissions they need to fix it themselves or they would.

That's as lame as it gets Jason. You can tell them that.
I post on numerous forums and their "ad partners" apparently realize that you have to make your stuff work on the most popular web browsers, because those forums do not have the issue. And they are pretty much all vBulletin based.
So not only is IB ignoring many of its desktop members, but the ad partners aren't going to get eyeballs for much longer either. Maybe they should consider that.
IB is an absolute fail by not demanding ad partners software is compatible - if it really is the actual issue. Hell they can't even get around to fixing their App in a timely fashion according to the other post. They have to wait in line for weeks for a known issue??
Believe it or not, the entire world is not on a device and an App. The issue only came about with the new IB App. From what I have seen, TMS members with Apps can quote my posts fine. But those on a desktop (prob IE) like Lee cannot.
So the issue is with IB when they created their App and made the foolish decision to not insure their crap still works with one of the leading desktop browsers.
Thank you for your efforts, but screw IB's pathetic performance and their irreverent customer service to their members. Without us they are nothing remember??

PS: If it was a known issue, then why didn't they respond a long time ago? Scott sent them something prior to me starting this thread. What exactly does IB Tech department do all day long?? Besides :blank: ?

I don't use IE. I use Firefox and I can't quote some people's post when they put a link in their post or copy/paste something in their post (charlie for one, others I can quote). And when I type a post, if I hit preview, it will show up, but it erases what I typed in the box below so I have to go back to the page before to to hit post or type it all over again.
And I can't edit my post if its one with a link in it, but I can quote a post or edit a post with a youtube link / embedded in it.
