"Somewhere in the heavens... they are waiting"

Just wanted to point out a bug with the site/forum. Just a couple minutes ago I apparently had the ability to edit other people's posts. I didn't, of course, but I thought I should still report this.

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

I do believe that if you tried to edit it wouldn't work.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

It was almost certainly just a display error. If you would have clicked it, you would have been brought to a page that said "access denied", or something similar. I've had that happen to me a couple times, and others have seen it as well.

News? Podcasts? Machinima? Active forums? Competitions? Jaffa Cakes!? OMG!
Thee Warriors!

Best. Mod. Ever.

Indeed, Aku. In TW a few members have said they've had 'Edit' icons on random people's posts.

It happens to everyone every once in a while. Just ignore it or refresh the page.

If you are referring to the public forums, it was simply just a visual display error. If you were to click the button or attempt to edit one's post, you would have been redirected to an Access Denied page. If you were in a group forum, then you could possibly have been assigned that permission by the group founder or an administrator.

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

Wut r u talking boot every1? I cans editz any tym eye wants 2.

As aku said, its probably a display error. Happens all the time. You could send an email to bnetbugs@microsoft.com if that's still active (I honestly don't know if it is still active), though this bug is not a big deal, so I wouldn't worry about it. There is even an error that gives you salmon text and a toolbar, but I hear it goes away quickly. I wonder, would I notice if I ever had that error? Or would it make my text white? Only one way to find out...
