 Sometimes, when putting in html coding in your welcome area, titling area of your boxes, or manually inserting an image into a post (calendar or music area for instance)........ Suddenly strange things start to happen! When you click on Customize, your edit buttons are gone (and sometimes the move buttons also) Maybe one area only is affected, or maybe all. Stranger still, you may be looking at a single post that has the "delete" button buried inside the content box and is not clickable! Here are several steps to take to repair these problems yourself, without having to contact Customer Service. I suggest trying these in the order they are listed below but at least one should work in most instances.1. Firefox BrowserInternet Explorer seems to be more forgiving of coding errors, but unfortunately it also prevents you from not only seeing them, but correcting them. Firefox is much less forgiving, and you can see and fix them more readily. Try downloading Firefox browser (free) and then see if you can actually see the bad coding that needs fixing, and your editing functions are there also. If you have errors while using IE, you may not even know they are there, yet the many Firefox or other browser users can see them. Browser preference is your choice of course. But Firefox is an excellent browser to check your site's appearance occasionally and edit when needed.2. URL'S to EDITThere are two url's that are important to remember. Paste either of these in your browser's address line while at your site, and you will be taken to an editing window to remove the offending code. a. Username.multiply.com/edit/content b. Username.multiply.com/edit/title3. "Delete" is buried in a content box. This usually happens when manually adding an image to a music playlist. Your image and playlist is then trash, yet you can't delete it. There may not even be a song in it! This is easy to fix yourself! Upload one song, to the existing playlist that is the problem. Upon completion, it will redirect to a window where you can then edit the image coding that is causing the problem by deleting it entirely. Save & Publish. Then go back, and your delete button should then be visible.These three items fix the majority of "can't edit" problems. No need to wait for Customer Service to repair your page for you once you know the tools to do it yourself. :)
