[EDIT: This also ended up an empty post, I'm leaving it so my final post makes sense]

In top right corner of your post is a drop-down <options> menu, select EDIT.

You can also select DELETE, if there are no replies to the post.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your answer!

There seems to be something strange with the forums:

First, I log in via Ubuntu/Firefox and make a post, I sign off
Then, I log in via OpenSUSE/Konqueror, and I log in using the same username and password; the system lets me in, but it does NOT recognize me as the author of the post, so when I was looking in the top right corner menu, there was no edit (hence my question)
From Konqueror, also all the text I wrote didn't show up in the previous two posts (hence they are empty)
Now I'm back on Ubuntu/Firefox, and it will not let me edit the previous two posts?! Also, it doesn't show me the "accept solution" button by your post as when I was in Konqueror??!

Looks like the server checks both login authentication and combination of browser+IP adress to let you edit posts, would that be correct?

Let's see - hopefully this gets posted now...

Cheers!

EDIT: Well, looks like everything got stabilized now, after making this post - now got all the "accepted solution" buttons, and can edit the previous posts too ... Dunno what happened - glad it is OK now :)

This forum website seems to be constantly under construction, or refinement.

Some weird weird stuff/behaviour pops up every now and then. When it happens, it's time to grab a cup of coffee and do some useful work for a few minutes, and usually the website is behaving a bit more predictably upon your return.

It's still not that bad. I rate wives much more unpredictable than this website. No contest. I wonder if my wife is jealous....

Just a quick note on the weird behavior - I just discovered that I login through secure.xilinx.com (top menu); both lithium.com and xilinx.com are allowed in JavaScript. However, turns out forum may end up separate from this login - the way to check is to see right below the Xilinx logo, once on forums.xilinx.com; then look just below, you should see:

Forum Usage
... ....

Right below that, if its says "Sign in", means you're not logged into the forum yet, so click it - and then it will show your username, etc, and forum will recognize you...

Hope this helps - Cheers!
