    This is NOT a bug per se but I'm finding it slightly annoying to not be able to edit any ideas you add to subs through the "Add an idea" button which has replaced the scroll format.

    Granted most instances on which I want to edit my added 'scrolls' so far is to change the formatting over paragraph spacing rather than any content. However, looking back thru one of my old subs which is In Work Public and previously in the scroll format, now I can edit the first scroll but I can no longer edit the second one and both are incomplete!

    Not sure how many people are affected by this and how hard the coding is to introduce this capability. If the coding's too hard and not many affected, then the easy way out might be to delete the old sub and create a new one and also remember never to create half-finished scrolls through the "Add an idea" button.

    Can you vote (+1) other ideas?

    The code is in place to allow it and I have no trouble getting to it but my admin powers override some things. You can click on the icon and show the info of the idea correct? What information is shown to you once you extend the info?

    Actually, problem resolved (there was no problem in the first place). I didn't realise that the Edit button is hidden for added ideas until one clicks on the "eye" icon. Thinking from a usability point of view, can we have the Edit link out by default instead of displayed on click? I know it probably doesn't look good if every scroll displays the long line of text on when it was created etc. but having the Edit button be invisible by default along with those text seems to me problematic. People are prone to think it doesn't exist when they don't automatically see it. Just my thoughts anyway.

    Hmmm, im currently clicking  "add an idea" on the same sub to add one more item, and nothing seems to happen. Box not oepning up for text. Hmmm

    Nah, hidden is fine. Once you figure out the eyeball, it is consistent through the pages for releasing hidden info.

    Not sure why the other doesn't show the reply. Sometimes the reply is lower than expected though depending on the amount of replies. Will take a look of course.
