Because when you made the posts in the first place, you used a different spelling than in your 'official' username. I did a quick database operation replacing 'zork' with 'Zork', and now it's working. Since this could be considered a bug, I added one line of code to the script which ensures there's always the right spelling stored automatically, so this shouldn't occur again.

But why could I edit my new post with zork and Zork and my old posts whether with zork or Zork?

What I suspected hours ago turned out to be true - nothing more, nothing less

As you wish.
Will I paid for board beta testing?

As you can now see it works now.

An error in dataase?

Try editing these two again now.

Perhaps an error in the database?
My posting on top of page 2 I also can't edit and this has no quote.

Well it's not really important. Now I can edit new postings and if I can't again edit sometimes I can post a new reply.

Then, there's absolutely no reason why it shouldn't work. The last idea I have is that it's the only one of your posts including a quote...

No I use never preview

Again: Are you using 'preview'?

Strange.
No I can't edit my old postings. But the new one I can

Are you sure Anyway, can you edit the post you couldn't before as well now?

I wrote my answer before I read your answer so it was no offense from me.

But the strange thing is that I now can edit it with different IP's and with zork an Zork. So the capitalisation was also no reason.
And I'm not too stupid to edit a post
I changed nothing in my doing and now it works.

edit test

You may think what you want, but I can assure you that isn't the answer Anyway, looking into the database, I saw that you indeed made the post in question as 'zork' and not as 'Zork'. That's the only point which could cause this. Are you using the preview function when editing?

I think so because now I have edited it immediately and now it works.
But everytime I'm online I have a different IP and can't edit old posts.

edit test 4

No, the authentification is purely based on username and password. Nothing else. So what did you do differently this time?

Does this forum uses a function that only someone with the same IP can edit a post?

Edited by Zork at 19:51 on November, 02nd 2004

No, all passwords are encrypted in a way that nobody can read them anymore. If you want me to test it, send the password over.

I believe you but it doesn't work for me.
I tried it again with two different browser without success.
Have you my password as admin? If not I can send you mine and you can try it with my account.

As you can see, no problems with the edit function. I edited the above post both while being logged in and by entering username and password manually.
