How do I edit my posts?

If it is your post, you can click the Gear at the top right and then select “edit”:

OK. Thanks. I have a gear and an Edit button on this post, but not on another one of my posts forums.plex.tv/discussion/188376/i-am-not-able-to-deleta-media-files-from-plex-home-theater?new=1

Maybe because the title is too long…?

That’s weird, I just looked at one of my past posts with the longest title and it word-wraps but still shows the Gear icon. Then again, I am using a skin on my browser so that the new forums look like the old forums… not sure if that has anything to do with it.

it is a measure against a certain group of &*#! users. a brand new user ist not able to edit.
@viking2 just crossed the border to 2 stars and he can now edit.

Always wondered what those stars were.

@OttoKerner,
You are right, I can now edit my first post!

Me too. But I don’t have any stars, and yet I can edit my posts.

I think you and I were both here before the universe formed. :slight_smile:

can you please provide me the html descriptor for that edit gear icon? I use a screen reader and it does not see this anywhere.

<div class="Options">
   <span class="ToggleFlyout OptionsMenu">
      <span class="OptionsTitle" title="Options">Options</span>
      <span class="Arrow SpFlyoutHandle"></span>
         <ul class="Flyout MenuItems">
            <li><a href="/post/editcomment/1040181" class="EditComment">Edit</a></li>
         </ul>
   </span>
</div>

the number after post/editcomment/ is of course different for every post

Is edit a link like the rest of these items?

Unfortunately not.
it is just an icon. Only upon clicking it, it reveals the edit link.

I don’t know JAWS, maybe you can teach it to analyse the structure of the document.
You seek for a hyperlink element (A) with a class name “EditComment”. This contains the Edit link for this post. It should appear on every single of your own posts.

Sorry, the forums are provided by vanilla. It is their “hosted” offering.

So the best would be to direct the bug report their way.
