Hi, I wonder why I can't edit comments for what seems to be older hubs. A yellow box immediately appears, instead of the edit box, when I click on edit. I don't have this problem with newer hubs, or with Q&A.
The spacing with sparrowlet's comment is really weird! But what you are referring to is that you cannot edit comments you have left on others' Hubs, yes?
This is the case because comments one leaves on another's Hubs can only be edited right after they are left (I think there is, approximately, a five minute window).
Hi Simone, I understand the time limit. (Sometimes it is 10 minutes and sometimes 5, when you are commenting on a comment.) I get that yellow box when I read back and try to edit, as soon as I post. So far, it's with a few older hubs. I don't have this problem with new hubs.
Can you provide the title and/or URL for a specific Hub in which you are experiencing the issue?
Matthew Meyer, I remember the hub, "How to Memorize Ayahs from the Qur'an". Can't remember the other one. Just had another problem with "Tips For New Bloggers & Online Writers. Get Traffic, Improve SEO and Avoid Newbie Mistakes!" Can't edit immediately after posting. This one has no yellow box, but the cursor inside the edit box disappears.

Thanks for the example.
This is a known issues that is affecting a small subset of Hubs.
I have forwarded these further examples to our engineering team.

Do you continue to comment on an author's hubs when you can't edit your comment?I just commented on a hub, then decided to add a sentence. My comment showed on-screen, but when I clicked on EDIT, I wasn't allowed to change my comment or even delete it. I can't see the benefit to a hub author in...

When a Hub author selects "Comments must be approved before they appear" in their comments capsule, you as the commenter don't have the opportunity to preview or edit your comment once you click "Submit".You do have that opportunity when the author doesn't select that option.It...

I don't know if anyone has raised this issue here. Anyhow, I am suggesting a new feature related to COMMENT column. Now, we cannot edit our comments after five minutes since we wrote it. We can edit our comments within a time gap of five minutes only and thereafter it can't...
