How to edit original post

[Hopelessness]

Hi,
I’m new to the forum and posted my first post about sick fish, I made a mistake on my ammonia … I wrote 6.0 instead of 0.0 (which is a terrifying difference) is there any way to change this?
Thanks in advance,

I don't know if the PC version might look different but on my mobile in Chrome browser, when oriented vertical: On the bottom left of the post there should be an arrow, then button that says edit. Click, scroll up and fix it, then scroll down and click save. I always mess up my posts and have to use this feature.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I can edit my reply to a reply but not my original post, it will only let me report it. I use safari on my phone so maybe that’s hiding it. I’ll add a note on my post to correct it whilst I try and work this editing mystery out.

I don't think that you can. Or maybe new members like us can't.
If it is a major mistake, maybe you can just delete the post and make anew one. Otherwise maybe add a comment explaining the change you wanted to make.

I once made a post in a wrong category. Instead of reposting, I just reported my own post (the small bell icon at the lower left side of the post) and comment that you realised it should be posted somewhere else)
