Hi, Sharon,

If you can give us some more details, I'm sure one of us can help you. It looks like you successfully edited your original message a few days ago, so we just have to repeat those steps.

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

So…you clicked the "Edit" link on that post, ya? And then what happened? Are you on a Mac or Windows PC, or an Android, iOS, or Windows mobile device?

Also, I don't think it's absolutely imperative that we update our original messages. I think the important thing is that our challenge moderators have the info they need to keep things updated. So at worst, if you simply post a new message saying that you are updating message 143 with the following new information, and then list the updates you would have made to the original message, I think that would be fine.

(Cassandra, hope I'm not stepping on any toes here…)

Great job everyone!

Nik - thanks for helping out!

Another thing to mention is that sometimes Goodreads itself has problems with editing posts... That usually happens if there is a lot of lag with the servers. Sometimes you just have to let it be and try again later.

Bobbi - no problem! Thanks for letting me know.

Kristine - that's perfect!
