It's unfortunately the second time that I cannot edit my own post ti rectify things. Why don't I get the EDIT option?

You mean in the forum?
Never seen that. Don't you see the edit button top right of the message? Left of your avatar, above the message area.

Do you have images enabled in your browser? I generally have mine not enabled to save bandwidth and there is no edit button... to make an edit I have to turn them on so the Edit button appears.

@Hagar Delest, @eeigor:
I know well how the buttons should look and how they should be arranged. They aren't this way, however. The only buttons I get are "Quick Reply" and "POSTRELY". An hour ago when my previous post was the bottom post in the thread I also got the cross for deleting that one post.
Since I logged out and in again twice, but the issue remained. I will now have a break, and try later with a newly started system.

@JeJe: I always have the images enabled - and I saw the cross, and see the "POSTREPLY" (as well as the avatars and everything).

I wonder is Lupp's computer treating him as not logged in, for some mysterious reason?

I did as announced, the regular buttons are in place again, and the quadratic cross-button (for deletion supposedly) vanished.
Unfortunately there is no screenshot of the screwy situation.

The "EDIT" button isn't only in place again, but also works as expectd. I already edited two of my posts above.
Do you have an idea concerning the cause of the isssue?

I've split all the posts about the button issue to sanitize the initial discussion. And moved the relevant content from Lupp in his post in the initial thread.

Never seen that either on Windows or Xubuntu.
Refreshing the page next time may help. Or using another browser just to check.
What browser BTW?

Constantly using Firefox (with automatic updates) for many years now.
However, I "only" am 99.999% sure that it was my installed Firefox. 0.0001% chance that I had opened my old Portable Firefox from a copy of an old USB sick I once made for backup, and have mapped to a drive letter.

Well, difficult to say. A screenshot may help if there is any artefact that could hint for a rendering problem. Or inspecting the page code may show something but to be compared with a page that works. But in such case, the page does not work, so catch 22 situation...
