Can't edit existing posts

I am on Chrome and I can edit new posts just fine, it's the older migrated one. I have heard several others are having the same issue. 

Hi guys I think I found work around after wrestling with my story thread
(not fix just very annoying work around)

Only edit one thing at once 

adding picture = only add the picture 
DO NOT edit the rows, text, image size or anything else in the same edit
just click the exact place you want to put your image,
click that adding picture button, add picture with it and hit publish

editing text = ONLY edit the text, do not add rows, scoot it upwards or downwards 
if you need to put something on different row use cut and paste method

hit publish after every little change you make, cancel it everytime it autodrafts anything 
and try to post before theres autodraft (as in as soon as your image loads hit publish immediately)

also if you need to delete anything do that in separate edit of its own 
don't edit anything else just delete the thing by cutting it publish immediately

What device and browser are you using?  I have no problem editing my posts on the desktop Mac version of Firefox.  And is this for all your posts, or only a few?  If you were working with older threads, please try editing this one for comparison's sake.

I think its mainly those migrated threads
editing little by little works for me now though so I'm doing that
it seems to not like using the new editing tools or changing many different things at once

I'm having the same issue. I edited just one link to a post on this forums to a text and then suddenly, publish doesn't work. There are no links under spoilers. I cannot even make new discussions.

I click on Publish, it is there for some time, then nothing happens and I can click on Publish again. I did use the spoiler tag in the new post though (but it had no link in it)...

Browser used: Chrome

Okay I might have post where I can't use my work around either 🤨 not sure whats so special about that one post though

no links or spoilers or anything on it

 Microsoft Edge , PC

its this post

rest of the thread I can edit with my workaround but that one won't even take to that

Okay interesting I think I figured that post out its working now with the workaround too
I think it was the strikethrough on one of the words blocking it

I'm glad you figured it out. This is such a mess, not to mention slow. I finally gave up editing, and just started a blog for my story and the progress has been so much faster. I've now posted 85 posts since yesterday, and that includes time to set the blog up. In comparison I hadn't done half of that in three days with the thread here. Just manually fixing all the images, then failing to do so, then trying again, then being logged out and having to start over...  Now I delete everything, add a link to the blog and one picture and I'm done with it. 

Also the blog looks better :) 

Hi.  It was suggested to me to post here about my experience with editing posts in migrated threads which is similar to what others are experiencing.  I host the DD thread which was migrated from the previous forum.  I am trying to fix an image which now only shows the image's url link to post that I cannot edit.  When I select edit, I copied the image's url into the link box.  The photo appears properly in the edit view.  However, when I select reply (I expected to see "publish" or "save") the photo doesn't show, only the url.  When I select "edit" again, the image appears in edit mode.  When I select "reply", the image does not appear.  

I did create a new post in the DD thread and have been able to edit the post created in the forum.

I use Chrome and Windows 10. 

Edit to add:  I read  a post   by GalaticGal that it may be better to upload photos directly from my computer rather than linking to imgur.  I tried to upload the photo from my computer.  Still no luck.  Both versions of the photo are visible in the edit view but not the published post. 

Simmingal  - I tried replying to you the other day.  I had typed my reply and decided to insert an emoji.   I selected the emoji button and my screen went blank and my message was lost. 

I did try the work around you suggested but it has not worked.  I just checked the post in the migrated thread which I was trying to edit.  The image is visible in the edit mode.  However, none of my changes take effect after selecting reply.  As well, the link for the text is visible, which I had deleted, and the photo does not show.  I have found a feedback post that users were having problems with migrated photos.
