Hope I've posted this in the right place.
How do you edit a post on this forum?

 Click the cog icon in the top right of your post box

I don't appear to have a cog icon on the top right of my post box. I have an arrow icon which expands the box.

The cog icon is on the green banner at the top of your post after you have posted, if the cog is not there you need to post more times to qualify to be allowed to edit.

Like this? Not seeing an arrow on mine

I think the arrow they are talking about is at the top right of the box that you type your reply in.

I'm using desktop so could be why I don't see it. I'll try on mobile.

Sorry I've just seen someone said it could be because I'm a new member. I guess I'll have to wait for the function. Thank you for your replies.

I'm also looking for this function but can't find information on how many posts or days until I can unlock them.

It's an MSE secret. One day, surprise surprise!

You have to reach a certain number of posts, and also have been a member for at least 3 (I think) days before the edit feature becomes functional.

Why I've no idea ... it's bizarre that a newbie is forbidden to edit their posts to correct typos etc. 🙄
