Hi

Yesterday I posted a question here,

("How to spread a set of actualised customisations to several wikis which are already in use?")

and later I noticed that I had forgotten to mention

"OS, Browser, Tiddlywiki version"

(Which is Windows 10, Firefox, TW 5.1.22 using Timimi)

I tried to edit the message accordingly, but I didn't see any "edit" option.

Am I missing something or is it not possible to edit messages here?

Jero

The new Google Groups interface removed the ability to edit your own posts.

Ciao Eric & jero...

It is a serious problem in cogent writing. Correcting errors is vital. If you can't then both making sense of posts and providing correct links gets far too complicated.

I'm concerned an already pretty poor system (any long term user knows that GG is AWFUL for finding things a few days past post date) is getting WORSE.

Google, for some inexplicable reason, is using the whole GG system & all its users to test changes. And its still changing. Things come and go. Today, for instance, the edit toolbar is not showing its glyphs on my machine for the first time.

It wrote to GG several times. But talking to a machine when millions of others are too is a waste of time.
