why can’t I edit or reply to my own topics? it looks like if I try to write more than a few lines the forum just fails altogether with this error 
YOU CANNOT REPLY TO THIS TOPIC.
EDIT: sorry for the spam, maybe new accounts have to wait a few minutes before posting.
oh wait, it seems to be working now. what could be the problem?
Please try again and let me know if you’re still having issues. We recently performed a site update and it’s possible the version of the forum tool we’re using wasn’t completely forward-compatible. Everything should be fully updated to the latest version now.
