**OFF TOPIC**

Kind of.

A few times now (in the past couple of days) I post something.

Oh Poop! I forgot to mention _such and such_! I edit the post.

When I say `save` the page says something ~~about~~ like

`this post has been edited by someone else in the mean time. Do you want to save changes?`

Keh?

I will try to get screen shots of the message when it happens again.

Do you have the forum, or that specific post, open in multiple tabs? It's possible there's some interaction between scripts on different tabs which is causing this error.

Note : I haven't looked at the page source or scripts, so this is just a quick thought before I go out.

Although I have a few squillion other windows open (tabs) I only have 1 open for the posting of things here.

So, sorry that isn't it.

Ok, it happened again.

Screen shots _tell the story_.

1 - the post I am going to edit.

2 - I click the `edit` button

3 - the edit window opens

4 - as soon as I start to type I get the `edit conflict` message.

Ok, not 4 pictures. But this is what I see.

1 and 2

Ok, so today: 22 June.

I've edited a few of my posts.

Problem has stopped.

Has anything changed _behind the scenes_?  
Just asking.

Ok.

Weird.

It seems to have gone away.

But on that: Where's the `solved` button gone?

Nothing in your reply and nothing in mine.

Meta category doesn't have solved button because meta is for information (not questions)

To anyone reading now:

# It seems to now have _resolved_ itself.
