As it is not displaying a signature under its post that is overlaying the entire post that prevents clicking in to edit, you are able to edit just fine with it.

I was about to post Jeknar's solution since I tested it earlier and forgot to tell everyone. lol. Anyway, I hope this forum glitch gets resolved soon.

StinVec -- Thanks a bunch for your detective work! It's tremendously helpful for us to be able to point to the exact cause of the problem, then ask Vanilla to fix it.

 

I noted the inability to edit late last week, and we've been following up because it's a pretty significant bug! I anticipate that with our being able to show exactly where the issue arises, this should be addressed pretty quickly. In the meantime, the work-around of removing your signature to allow editing is functional...even if less than desirable.

 

Thanks again!

Can confirm.

 

I have hidden .UserSignature.Signature which is a large block over the editor (really large block) and now works.

The large block is the reason why there are huge white space.

The only downside in hiding that is not able to see signatures.

Yay! I hope you get the glitch nailed soon. :)

"Detective work" -- oh boy. It's simple CSS, every web designer should be able to fix this in a matter of hours (even less).

[Absconditus.6804]

A fix for this issue is quite simple actually. Found this within minutes, so I'm surprised this hasn't been fixed yet. By going to the _**_listings.scss**_ file and editing line 191 from saying _**display: block;**_ to _**display: table;**_ it should resolve the issue. Alternatively, you could go edit the _**signature.css**_ file and add _**display: table !important;**_ to the _**.UserSignature**_ class. For the savvy, you can test the latter suggestion through your browser's console by running the following JavaScript snippet while editing:

 

`var x=document.getElementsByClassName("UserSignature"),i;for(i=0;i

I haven't been able to edit posts for well over a week, glad (not really) to hear it's a general problem, and not clientside

[Oglaf.1074]

Still unresolved and highly annoying...

[Gaile Gray.6029]

To be clear -- although I was sure I was in my earlier post -- this is not a change that we can make on our end. **We are reliant on Vanilla to fix this bug.** We've sent it to them at a Priority 1, and now... we wait. But believe me, we are aware of this situation, and I assure you that if you are irritated, I'm seriously hindered by this bug in doing my job!

Well, then we can blame them for their slothfulness. :p

In your forum preferences, under `Signature Settings`, toggle on `Hide Signatures Always`. This alleviates the symptoms (but not the cause).

[Gaile Gray.6029]

Yes, I just tested to be sure, and "Hide Signatures Always" **does** work, as a temporary workaround.

Sorry for the necro but I wanted to say that the bug have been fixed in case of some of you are still using the Hide Signatures setting.

Thanks for letting us know. I hadn't seen anyone else comment on it. (I don't think it counts as "necro" when the new post actually includes new information that is of interest to those who have posted already.)
