Can't edit discussions

EA_NilsI can't edit a discussion of mine, every time I click publish it just stays on the same page. I've tried logging out and logging back in and it is saving the final version of my edits with autosave but I still can't publish. Can you or another EA staff please help? 

  • What thread is it?  I wonder if someone else editing it a little bit (like putting in an extra line break, nothing drastic) would reset things.  Even if not, it's a useful example for the EA people investigating.

  • puzzlezaddictthank you, except I’m kind of stuck with the auto save automatically reloading. I did edit several parts of the post at once but now I can’t go back and edit one thing at a time because the finished product is loading as the auto save, if that makes sense. It’s a migrated thread so matches up with a lot of the comments on that thread. 

    edit: I discarded my auto save and tried to edit just the title on its own and it still did the same thing. So now I’ve lost my finished version of how I want it to look and still can’t edit it. 

    I really appreciate you taking the time to reply but unfortunately that workaround doesn’t seem to be the one on this occasion. I’m half tempted just to create a new version of the same thread as ridiculous as that is.

    This one

    Like you say maybe it would reset if you tried to edit it. If you can successfully do so I'd really appreciate the title being changed to: Lizzielilyy: The Vault of Sims Guides, Stories and Challenges **Now on YouTube**

  • I copied and pasted your title, and it worked.  I'm not sure if it worked because I had no saved draft or because I did it quickly, but please see whether you can edit now, and let me know.

    If trying to edit reverts the title, I can always revert it back for you.  I don't want to mess with your thread, but that at least takes ten seconds and doesn't make any changes you wouldn't want.
