Edit in the homework help section

In summary, some users were experiencing difficulty with the "quick edit" feature in the homework section. However, others were able to edit using the "advanced" options. The problem may be intermittent and is being investigated by moderators. It was also noted that the issue may be related to browser type, as one user was using Firefox 1.5 beta 1. After further testing, it was discovered that the quick edit feature does work, but may take a few seconds to update.

Someone else had posted in Biology last night that they couldn't edit another post of theirs just preceeding the second post.

You said you can't do a "quick edit." Does that mean you were still able to edit using the "advanced" options? Is it a persistent problem, or did it just happen last night and go away? It will probably help Greg and Chroot track down problems if we know details about them, like whether it is happening intermittently, constantly, only in some forums but not others, etc.

Yeah, by quick edit I meant: I could not edit a post in the little thing that opens up. I was able to edit posts when I clicked advanced though.

I am using firefox 1.5 beta 1

Let me test it out again.

edit... I just tested it again in the college section, on the differentiation thread, and clicking save does nothing for me.edit2... BLAH! I guess I am just impatient, it seems to work after a few seconds!
