If it’s not there, please tell me what kind of device and browser you’re using so I can attempt to diagnose the issue, thanks.

Do you typically hold the tablet vertically or horizontally when browsing DU? The page shows different layouts depending on the tablet's orientation, so knowing your answer will help me to narrow things down.

Another member reported a similar issue yesterday -- they reported that the Reply button was missing, but it's in the same place as the Edit button so I think this is the same problem.

Hopefully we will be able to track this bug down and take care of it soon.

wanted to make a slight edit. I always work on my tablet horizontally, but remembered you asking if I used it vertically.

So, I turned the tablet around to vertical mode, saw a green EDIT box at the bottom and made the correction. Voila!

The other 2 buttons at the bottom were REC, red and REPLY, blue.

So I'm good for now. Thanks much.

Thanks again!

Back on the Chromebook. Used to love checking DU with my tablet, a Fire tablet, but the formatting went completely haywire for a while this morning - https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218390147 . 50 Shades of Blue had the same problem.
