Cannot edit an old thread of mine?

Hi,

I wanted to make some changes to this thread:

Ubuntu Mate Update Guide

but there is no “Edit” button?.

Can one of the devs/mods tell me why please. :smiley:

Thanks in advance. :smiley:

Do you see the 3 dots beneath your post?

you should be able to click on it as it will nreveal the edit-button (pencil icon).

Hi,

thanks for your response, all I get is this?:

Hello!; anyone there?, the problem still exists!. :cry:

@Wimpy,

I seriously would like to get this issue resolved, I can edit some threads but not the one linked above?. :frowning:

Cool :sunglasses: Link?

I've looked in menus for a wiki, done a Search on 'wiki', ...

@Wimpy,

thanks, it is working fine now!. :smiley:

I only have one further question, isn’t allowing anyone to edit it a little dangerous?.

If it isn’t checked on a regular basis, anyone could include commands that will ruin someone’s install!.. :frowning:

Discourse determines the trust level based on the user's activity. By default, a Basic User (1) would be allowed to edit a Wiki post, but admins/moderators should be able to bump this up to level 2 (members) or level 3 (regular) if it became a problem.

Here is another one:

Now a Wiki post. If you prefer, all your guides could become Wiki posts so you can update them when necessary?
