    Maybe because Yahoo worked on it? I understand they have a bunch of engineers whose only job is to go around finding things that work, and if they do they are expected to immediately change it. I have been having problems also.

    Glad you are still around. I was not for a while, but not by choice.

    Salaams dearest of brothers:

    Thank you for your comments. The more they try to improve this program it seems, the more glitches it has. Things were working fine but now I can't edit either my question or anyone else's. I hope they fix it soon. It is very frustrating.

    Oh well. Good to see you old friend. Hope your back is better. It sounds like you are still dealing with pain issues. :(

    Best of wishes.

  • It does work when the question us still open but if the user picks a Best Answer users who answered are not able to edit the answer.

    It does, as long as there is no Best Answer chosen on the question. Once a BA is chosen, you can't edit an answer any longer.

    Perhaps it is a glitch,because you should be able to edit.Sometimes exiting the browser and reenter helps.Also you can't delete or edit a answer once there is a best answer.
