Community Documentation timed-out

Can you tell me just how to edit the page? I'll gladly help you once I get that step done xD

Hi :)

It's amazingly easy. Just get to the community documentation page you want to edit, in this case
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Linuxvirus
then look up at the top right-hand corner, just below the search tool it says "Login / Register". Click on that login link. Resist the urge to click on "No i am someone else", this is the tough bit ;) Then look down at the bottom right-hand corner and click on "Show Editing Options" - Then the bottom left-hand corner has "Edit". I found it a bit of a struggle arranging my screen to show the biggest area of what i wanted to see. That's about it really.

If you look just under the edit area there's a place to write a brief comment on exactly what change you made although it's pretty easy for people to compare in the history of the page. I am not sure what difference ticking the "Trivial Change" box makes, it doesn't seem to do anything.

It seems to be a good idea to stick within the time limit so having a plan and following the plan seems a good idea. Multiple edits are ok (ish) tho although some pages (not this one) have a list of people that get emailed each time you click on the save chagnes at the top of the edit area. :)

Blimey, that makes it all sound very complicated but really it's very easy. You will see what i mean when you start trying :)

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Well, the problems begin just after I escape the temptation to click on the "No, I am someone else" thingy-- I think he doesn't like that. xD

In fact, we have the exact same problem, I can't edit that specific documentation, the editing options seem to be lacking only there, whilst other documentations can be edited easily.

Here are two screenshots to prove that: http://i32.tinypic.com/szd6ir.png and http://i29.tinypic.com/2s7c1hw.png

Hopefully we'll be able to work this out soon ;)

Oh dear. Maybe i really broke something on that page. That last section looks even worse in decent resolution than it looks on my machine! I guess i will have to post a bug-report and fess-up to it :(

Thanks for trying :)

Oh Noooo, now i seem to have broken this thread too. Unbelievable.

Tom this thread sems not broken...

Hth

Thanks Catarina, that solved my question.

Thanks Marcobra too :)

I accidentally clicked on "This Solves my Problem" and then found there was no buttons to click on any of the previous answers. They were still missing just then but at least i could click on the right person even tho i couldn't click on the answer that had really helped me. I think it's one of those great launchpad upgrades because i'm sure it used to be possible. Perhaps it's just me being clumsy - it quite probably is just me.

Anyway thanks both of you :)
