    Unfortunately, no. It's a side effect of our security provisions. We don't allow members to edit their blog posts because that could allow them to get around the security provisions. That applies to blog drafts because there's no way to allow editing of drafts without allowing editing of posted blog entries. And since only you can see your drafts (not even staff can see them), unfortunately they're there to stay. :frowning2:

    So I guess the takeaway is that you should draft your blogs in Word, LibreOffice Writer, or your document processor of choice and then load them to Empty Closets.

    That's the best way to do it, yes. (Although I'm an OpenOffice person, myself. :slight_smile:)

    thanks for the answers :slight_smile: but I have a second question

    <--- over there, where it says Blog Entries
    when I click the number it gives the same message, why? :confused:
    PS: it works on my own profile but for someone else's profile it doesn't...

    :slight_smile:

    Can you give a link to the specific page you're on when you get the error?

    Well, in my case, my blog is only visible to people on my friends list, so that's why you can't see it. Maybe that's the case for the other members you were looking at, too.
