Can't edit existing posts
Like the title said, when trying to edit existing posts, it won't update. I click on the right icon, is taken to the editing page, make my edits and press publish. Nothing happens! I've done this...

Thanks. I don't think any of my threads were migrated, so I can't test with those. But I was able to edit an older post from someone else:
Re-downloading The Sims 3 | EA Forums - 2690021
So this may have something to do with permissions, or perhaps that thread isn't old enough to be a problem.

Community AdminI believe you should be able to, I certainly can with my elevated account, but I don't have a regular account which has old Sims content.
Can I check what you're trying to edit? I assume it's editing in updated pictures to the Whittaker Saga, in which case, can you try editing just text first?
Also, just to double check, from your description it sounds like there's no flash of an error or page highlights, Publish is clickable but non-responsive. Is this the case?
Editing in a potential fix: From investigating, this seems to happen when there's a hyperlink contained within spoiler tags. If anyone finds themselves unable to edit, please check for this within the post, and change as appropriate.
We've submitted a bug report on our end for this too.
Thanks.
Exactly! And I could edit the replies just fine, as well as new posts I'm creating. It's just the main post. I just tried editing just the title and some of the text but that didn't work either, and yes, no error message, just that nothing happens. You get the three dots as if it's thinking, and then... nothing. It stays in the editing mode instead of publishing.
I am also unable to edit some of my posts. I was able to edit one and publish the changes, but haven't been able to edit and publish changes on some of the others that I've tried. Like JesLet40 said, I can click the publish button but nothing happens. I removed the spoilers from the threads as well to see if that would help, but it did not.
