Hey, what happened to the EDIT feature for an answer?
I just re-read an answer that I gave to someone, and I felt like I needed to add a comma to fix a sentence... and the EDIT feature is gone?? Where did it go? When did it get removed?
Uh no, it's still gone.
LOL, now it is back. Weird.

No, it did not get removed or anything!
This usually happens when your Password Prompting Time expires.
All you need is to Sign Out Yahoo! then Sign In again.
Most likely you will find the Sign In link without the need to Sign Out.
<Edit>
Some Yahoo! services, such as Yahoo! Answers, require you to periodically enter your password even though you are already signed in. If the time you chose for your password prompting expires, you will only be able to 'browse' Yahoo! Answers as if you were logged-out. This is why you did not see the Edit button. Try to log-out then check out the question you answered, you won't find this button under your answer just the same as when your passwred prompt time expires.
Password prompting time may be set by default to only 1 hour or so. You can adjust it to be up to 2 weeks. I adjusted mine to 1 day.
