How do I edit a previous post - has the process changed?

[Grampus]

Please can I ask for some advice re editing a previous post?  I know it sounds daft - the obvious is answer is 'use the edit button', which I attempted to do, as I have done on occasion before.  However,  this time all it seemed to want to allow me to do was to provide a reason for the edit (by way of a drop-down): I could neither edit my previous post nor actually  even see it!  Nor did there appear to be a freetext box to even insert text.   I am sure I am missing something obvious (but clearly not to me!)   Grateful for any assistance, please.

 

Many thanks, 

 

Paul

Further to my last post, as an experiment I tried the edit function again and this time it worked as expected, so now I am  slightly confused but blaming operator error and fat fingers ...  however, if anybody knows better, do please let me know!

 

Best wishes,
