Why do I have to Edit twice to change a forum post?
I can type a post and submit it.
Then go back into thread, click edit, make changes, press submit, then when the edited thread auto reloads, my change has not happened.
I click Edit again, the text box shows my changed post just as I had typed it, so I click Submit again, and this time it changes the posted message.
Is it just a lag in the change being published to the database? Is it just me?

you don’t. Just wait a minute then refresh. The edit will be there.
edit: like this.
ah. Shonky-forum iz shonky! Colour me surprised!
cheers Neal.
^This. Just takes time. Complete your edit, make a tea, check back and your edited text will be there.
It is what it is.
Stop whining.
Yeah cache I think, probably the same reason as the thread order doesn't cope with the last minute changes.
But with all things just take the time to do it right first time 😉
Think before typing?
I try too to, but fat thumbs don’t help neither autocorrect or predictive text.
Its annoyance, but once edited it does get embedded...
Consider thrice
Type twice
Post once
edit: or just edit then wait, like this
