Hi,
Why can I edit my own post but can't edit a reply in someone else's post?

That would explain it.
Here is the link to that post...
Interestingly as moderator I do not see the locked symbol.
Which may explain why I have been caught out replying to locked topics before.

Yes, the correct answer is that it's an old thread that was locked from new replies, which means the existing replies can't be modified either. However, there should be an indicator that the topic is read-only, which is unfortunately missing currently. I added it to our backlog and we'll try to fix it as soon as we can.

Interesting.
AllanP seems to see that locked symbol as seen in his screen shot.
I don't see it, but thought it was just because I was a moderator.
