Edit function has changed and I can't edit my contents page any more.
-
Edit display has changed and made it impossible to edit my contents page. It worked fine for the first 68 postings.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Did you recently change your theme? It could be that the new theme doesn’t display the edit link. Regardless, you should still be able to edit this Post (and note it is a Blog Post, not a Page)
Or do you mean you can edit it, but not format/add links/etc.? Make sure you are using the visual editor and not the text editor (top right above the edit box).

If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.
Note: If you are using an IE9 browser in compatibility mode that makes it render as IE7 and IE7 is not supported. To disable see > http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html
If you are running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com please do these four things:

Above is what my edit page looks like. I’m using IE10 version 10.0.4 and I certainly do not want to change browsers. It’s always worked in the past. I am NOT a programmer or engineer, I just want it to work like it has in the past in a user-friendly fashion.

That particular functionality doesn’t work well with Internet Explorer 7, or in IE 8 or 9 with compatibility mode turned on. Since you’re using IE 10, this is not the case. Make sure to follow all of the steps in timethief’s post above.

It is still supported with Internet Explorer, just no longer supported in outdated versions.
If you are using a current version of IE then you’ll want to follow limberjack’s instructions and make sure that compatibility mode is turned off To disable see > http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html

I fixed it! The problem was that the page was being presented in ‘text’ view instead of ‘functionality’ view. I don’t know how that happened but apparently it’s OK now. I think maybe the prior post where I showed the copied and pasted view might have triggered the ‘Aha’ moment for you?
