Editing your post

[jay60]

It doesn't seem possible to edit your post if you have included a quote from another post. It would be conveinent if you could do this. Or maybe I'm just not going through the proper steps.

Thank you for considering this,
Jay

Just found that if you don't include the [/B][/QUOTE] , the quote won't be enclosed in the box and you can then edit your post.
But guess it would still be better if you could edit even if the quote's enclosed.

The quote box prevents access to the Edit button only if it is located in the first line of a post
That said you can actually still edit that post. If you are using IE8 select Page-> Style -> No Style from the Command bar and the page will reload without the quote boxes thereby giving you access to the Edit button [other broswers may offer different solutions]
In order to avoid the issue altogether [while still quoting the original text] you can either add your text before the quote [as I normally do eg this post] or if you prefer to have the quote on top just insert a character [for example a dot] in the first line of your post
