Problem with editing

Mexivoof · 10-16-2007

I hate misspellings, but make plenty, so I am always editing. Usually not a problem but occasionally it just doesn't work. All you see is a bunch of hexagons swirling around forever

What do you mean it doesn't work?

It has worked for me.

Normally, for me anyway, if you click on Go Advanced while it's twirling around, you can edit from there.

**james** · 10-16-2007

the quick edit, like the quick post, uses a technology called AJAX which uses Javascript to communicate with the server and accomplish what might have been done by reloading the page, getting an edit form, then sending the information and getting a new page shown with the edits confirmed. It's handy when it works properly, but can fail for various reasons, mostly due to the 'stateless' environment of http.

In other words, what Susie said is also how I get around this.

I never have this problem becausse I neverr make misteaks.

It's tough beeing purrficct, but I gotta give the rest of you somethin to aspire too.
