Hey everyone, A big plus this site has over DKE is that you can edit your comments after posting. No more embarrasing typos. And when you really screw up (as I have done), or reply at the wrong place, you can delete your comment or cut and paste it where it belongs.

Click тАЬEditтАЭ then write and rewrite as to your heartтАЩs content!
IтАЩm not entirely sure whatтАЩs making you believe you canтАЩt edit posts, but I thought I should let you know that after you edit a post here, the edited post does NOT show up for you on your screen right away. You must refresh the page for the edited version to show up. I was confused at first myself thinking it was weird I couldnтАЩt edit until figuring that out.
Lmk if youтАЩre still stuck and IтАЩll try to assist.
I can't explain it, then. All I see on mobile is "Share a link to comment/Hide comment/Delete comment". Only on my computer is there an "Edit comment" choice. Clicking on "Share" does not produce an edit option on another screen. It's a workable situation, though.
I just checked from my iPhone and it looks just like my Mac and just as dragonfire5004 describes just above your reply. Clicking on the ellipsis offers "edit" and "delete." Perhaps the generation of Iphone matters or other settings?

You can edit your comments only on the computer. On the phone, you have to delete and repost. But yeah, that's superior to DKE.
One thing I miss is that I see no way to add italics or bold or hyperlinks to text. Silver lining, it prevents me from overusing italics as emphasis.
Well said. I miss the Italics and Bolding functions. Hope they get added to Substack comments eventually.
I edit my posts on my phone all the time on my Samsung phone. Maybe iPhone has an issue?
You mean maybe Substack doesn't enable editing for iPhones.
I can edit fine on my iPhone and itтАЩs the only way I view here.

Is that something paid subscribers get?
IтАЩm not a paid subscriber.

Does the 3 dots or тАЬтАжтАЭ show up on the far right of your posts at the bottom on the right side of the тАЬSHAREтАЭ option? Like this:
LIKE (1)
REPLY (1)
SHARE
тАж
No. LIKE REPLY ...

Thanks for the heads up. That will be a nice change.
