Here we go again, with the same old questions that were never answered or resolved.

I have an old post of mine that I want to edit on Friendica. I can go to the site and see it. I can even click on "edit". Then, no matter what I do, I am unable to change anything. I am put in a text edit box, and when I leave it, I am sent back to the page, as if I never hit "edit" at all. In the past, I have, with extreme patience and a lot of wasted time, been able to edit posts from the main site, but this time, it's not working. I'm not sure if it's simply a lack of screen reader accessibility or if there is a time limit to edit posts. This one that I specifically put on my profile for people to read. If posts expire or if I can't properly edit them, I will need to delete this repost it, then readd it to my profile. Even Tweesecake can't help, since the post is beyond its time range! Can anyone please help me? I don't know why certain things on Friendica are so difficult to do with screen readers.

Okay. I was able to do it. But honestly, it's incredibly difficult and time-consuming! There is some kind of dialogue that I must get into, and I must do it exactly right or it won't work. Whever happened to just hitting a link and being placed in a normal edit box! I do this so rarely from the main site that I'm sure I will forget again. Seriously, can someone please fix this?
