How do I edit a post the edit button is missing?

I had a theory that you couldn't edit the first post in a thread you started, but I've just looked at some of my old threads and I have edit buttons for those.

Then I had an idea that perhaps you can't edit your post after a certain period of time or after someone has replied, and my old posts seem to blow that theory out of the water too.

In conclusion. I don't know.

sounds like your photos are so big that it's expanded the page off to the right, taking the edit button with it!

It may be worth moving your photos from the hosting site, which will break the links and hopefully let the page width shrink so you can get to the edit button.

Then resize your photos to something like 800x600 and repost them
