Has anyone noticed that the 1st Edit does not take?

I edit a post, click 'save' and notice that my edit is missing and the post is the same. The second time around it seems to take. Now when I edit I make a copy of the entire edited post, click save, see the changes are not there, click edit again, Paste my saved post back on the page, click save and it takes. After this procedure, following edits seem to hold.

This seems some kind of technical fault with the edit procedure.

    Yes, Y!A staff know about this issue, and I have experienced it myself.

    There is a thread posted to the Suggestion Board, which Y!A staff do read. http://suggestions.yahoo.com/detail/?prop=answers&... They have marked it as "reviewed" by a Yahoo employee.

    The method that you stated is currently the only known workaround.
