Can you edit your posts any more?

[Gator6x4]

I'm a chronic misspeller, that no matter how many times I read before posting, I never fail to see a typo until after I post. Recently when I click to edit, I can get "in" to edit my text, but see no way (button?) to save the changes. There's a box that asks "Reason", so I type "typo", enter, page renews but my old typo post is still there? Is this the same for everyone?

Is this on my end (my computer need new java update or some such) or is the website?

It's the web site. I have been having a problem now for some time. I have sent e-mails, no joy. I can edit if I use a Ipad. Another problem I have also is when I post something I have to sign out and then back in to see the post. It appears to be going thru a "Third Party", reviewed and then okayed for posting.

I am also getting yellow triangles with a tractor outline scattered across the web page.

What browser are you using? If you are using IE, turn on compatibility mode.
Here is what I see in IE 11 with Compatibility Mode off:

Do as he says. I'm not having any problems after turning compatibility view on. This is the 1 st. computer I've to do this on ,and I have always used IE.

Let's think about this for a few seconds.

There are 100s, if not 1,000s, of posts daily.

There isn't a panel of people reviewing every post then okaying for posting.

There were 1007 posts made between 8:54 AM on the 13th and 8:54 AM on the 14th.

I had that problem... didn't know about the 'compatibility mode' trick so I simply switched to Firefox. Works fine, so is pretty clearly an IE issue. Simply one of many over the years.

You shouldn't have to edit your posts for misspellings typos, the text should be underlined in red and if you right click on the original text BEFORE posting you can correct then.

CM, what browser are you using? I haven't seen this feature.

Firefox and Chrome both have it and both are better than IE.
Here is how it looks on Firefox:
