Could it be you/we have it just for a short time and then we can't correct the post any longer? I got the Modify option after I posted this message

Rose,

no, I don't think that that's it.
I did NOT have it immediately after I had written the post.
Also I remember to be able to edit posts of mine that were written days / weeks ago.

Must be something else....

But strange to hear that it disappeared for you too !
Did you log-out in the meantime ?

I logged out I think when I leave the forum. I get always logged in automaticaly when entering the forum. I entered by clicking in the notification mail for this thread. I didn't have any Modify. I replied and when the I posted message I got the Modify option.
D-n the font size is so small in the Reply window now, 6pt. I didn't do that!!

aquaMat - yes removing the log in automatically from your other machine would probably help. Personally I just use the update session tab when it happens to me, since I often log in from different machines it's become pretty much automatic for me. The forums asks for a bit of info (not my password), and everything is put back.

This is very simple:

If you are logged in and then log in from a different IP while still logged in from the first one you'll have to update your session because otherwise the YaBB doesn't know which one to serve: The first or the second IP.

If you log off from the first IP and then you log in from a different IP you don't have to update your session because then the YaBB only sees you on one IP.

This has nothing to do with the "logged in for keeps" feature. I often logged both at home and at work and then I had to update my session. After I started logging off at home after each session I do not have to update my session when I log in at work.

You're right assuming that you are logging in / out all the time. Like aquaMat, I normally don't, so often just update my session. It's easier for me. As with nearly everything, experiences and preferences may vary.

That same thing happened to me, too. I had complained about it somewhere else on these pages....
And the worst part:
Although there IS the small "Text size" field at the right corner below the text field, where one can change it back from 6 pt to something more readable... IT ALWAYS RE-SETS ITSELF TO SMALL - so the next time I post something it is again 6pt and my eyes are starting to hurt.

Who the hell allowed a software to boss us users around ?? Wink

We should be telling the software how to behave - not the other way 'round !

@ Rob & brell:

Thank you both for your comments. I can see clearly now.
I'll try to log-out from my old Mac, so I then can stay logged-in from my MacBook, as I'm using that much more often.

However, that "update session" feature seems a quick + easy solution too - I have never tried that... not once in all those years.
Maybe I will try that right away now - just to see how it works.

Thanks !!

@ Rose, brell, Rob:

Even though the MODIFY - button did re-appear for me after I had done the "Update Session" thing described by Rob & brell (see below), it had disappeared again very shortly after.

My assumption was that the reason for that was that I still was logged in from my old G5's IP address - even if I hadn't accessed the forum from there in the meantime this probably still mattered.

So I have finally logged out from the forum using my old G5 yesterday.... leaving this IP-address (my MacBook) the one that is "logged in for keeps".
BUT: Still the MODIFY button does not show!! (I have just posted an entry in another thread).

I will try now once more to "Update (the) Session"..... maybe afterwards it finally gets back to its normal behavior ??! Undecided
