A mod told me not to double post, and that by clicking my name I could select "edit" to edit my post. However, upon clicking my name, there is NO sign of an edit button only a "profile" and a "send message" button...

Click your avatar not name, although it should still say edit

You can't edit a post once it's moderated.

Someone pointed out you can't edit posts. Is that what happened?

I have been unable to edit a normal post today. After clicking submit I get the message 'the page has timed out'.

Test..

I can edit

Actually guys, not sure if this was intentional or not, but I'm unable to edit my own posts in a private message.

It likely was.
