Right now I don't have it either. Could it be you/we have it just for a short time and then we can't correct the post any longer?
I got the Modify option after I posted this message

Rose,
no, I don't think that that's it.
I did NOT have it immediately after I had written the post.
Also I remember to be able to edit posts of mine that were written days / weeks ago.
Must be something else....
But strange to hear that it disappeared for you too !
Did you log-out in the meantime ?
Re: At last! Discotheque Of Doom ins running for me... - rose - 05-18-2012
I logged out I think when I leave the forum. I get always logged in automaticaly when entering the forum. I entered by clicking in the notification mail for this thread. I didn't have any Modify. I replied and when the I posted message I got the Modify option.
D-n the font size is so small in the Reply window now, 6pt. I didn't do that!!

aquaMat - yes removing the log in automatically from your other machine would probably help. Personally I just use the update session tab when it happens to me, since I often log in from different machines it's become pretty much automatic for me. The forums asks for a bit of info (not my password), and everything is put back.

This is very simple:
If you are logged in and then log in from a different IP while still logged in from the first one you'll have to update your session because otherwise the YaBB doesn't know which one to serve: The first or the second IP.
If you log off from the first IP and then you log in from a different IP you don't have to update your session because then the YaBB only sees you on one IP.
This has nothing to do with the
logged in for keepsfeature. I often logged both at home and at work and then I had to update my session. After I started logging off at home after each session I do not have to update my session when I log in at work.

You're right assuming that you are logging in / out all the time. Like aquaMat, I normally don't, so often just update my session. It's easier for me. As with nearly everything, experiences and preferences may vary.

That same thing happened to me, too. I had complained about it somewhere else on these pages....
And the worst part:
Although there IS the small
Text sizefield at the right corner below the text field, where one can change it back from 6 pt to something more readable... IT ALWAYS RE-SETS ITSELF TO SMALL - so the next time I post something it is again 6pt and my eyes are starting to hurt.
Who the hell allowed a software to boss us users around ??
We should be telling the software how to behave - not the other way 'round !

@ Rob & brell:
Thank you both for your comments. I can see clearly now.
I'll try to log-out from my old Mac, so I then can stay logged-in from my MacBook, as I'm using that much more often.
However, that
update sessionfeature seems a quick + easy solution too - I have never tried that... not once in all those years.
Maybe I will try that right away now - just to see how it works.
Thanks !!

Did
Update Sessionand -boom! - MODIFY button reappeared instantly!
That was easy!
Thanks again.

@ Rose, brell, Rob:
Even though the MODIFY - button did re-appear for me after I had done the
Update Sessionthing described by Rob & brell (see below), it had disappeared again very shortly after.
My assumption was that the reason for that was that I still was logged in from my old G5's IP address - even if I hadn't accessed the forum from there in the meantime this probably still mattered.
So I have finally logged out from the forum using my old G5 yesterday.... leaving this IP-address (my MacBook) the one that is
logged in for keeps.
BUT: Still the MODIFY button does not show!! (I have just posted an entry in another thread).
I will try now once more to
Update (the) Session..... maybe afterwards it finally gets back to its normal behavior ??!
