Today I posted two replies, and while I was typing, “system” apparently edited my post. Funny thing is, nothing was changed, but my posts have both the red “edit” tag, and my log (when I click on my icon) shows “system” edited my post.
What is that? It’s a little annoying BTW. 
Sometimes it will remove a full quote if you are immediately answering and you selected.
Sometimes it will change the link if it’s an image that already exists, that you’ve referred to.
Next time take a closer look, it took me a while to work those two out.
Yes, I’ll keep an eye on it. The quote thing might apply to one or two posts (although I rarely make a full quote, I usually just highlight the parts I’m answering to), but it did happen also without my quote being removed. I didn’t link to images. Strange.
IMHO it’s some kind of bug, because about that same time my preview pane (on the right side of the composer panel) disappeared entirely, and I wasn’t able to make it come back without restarting my Firefox. 
Oh well.
Check which interface you are using for the preview panel disappearing, there is ref to that in another topic.
In my case it was most certainly a Firefox soft crash, as preview appeared normally (and is still there) after I restarted Firefox. Then again I leave it running all day in a background workspace, so it does go stale sometimes. -shrug-
Thanks nevertheless.

Thanks, I’ll look at it if/when I have time to spare. Unfortunately days only have 24h around here…

Yikes, since a few days the forum gives me that “your post was edited, reload” message every single time I post something, regardless if it contains quotes, links (or whatever else the forum might have strong opinions about).
I haven’t noticed any actual changes, it usually just discards whatever I wrote in the last 5-10 seconds, but it’s definitely very annoying, especially when happening several times in a row, not to mention the “your post was censored, please acknowledge” aspect of it! 
Edited to add: It even happened on that post here, and before I inserted the smiley (frownie?).
The only times it has happened to me is
- If I quote a whole post and I am directly responding to it, the quote gets deleted
- If I grab the URL of an image to embed I get a - later - notification that the URL has been changed to an internal path
Well, as you see above, none of those applies… No quote, no URL.
The only thing I see is that it happens after a short while, it doesn’t (have time to) happen if I’m faster…
