i don't see how i can edit, or add a page-break. i was able to edit before but now o don't see an edit button. is it perhaps because i have a negative karma score? i'm new here.

could be. I gave you a few more points to make you positive again. Try now?

thanx. gave you some karma points too.

unfortunately i still don't see an edit button.

my karma score is now zero; at least that's better than negative.

i remember i needed at least two karma points to make a post.

i wonder if the wiki has anything to say about this.

i know i'm not overlooking something because i've edited this post before, but now i dont see the option to edit.

the edit icon should be next to the floppy disk icon to "unsave" in the bottom right corner of the post.

i can send you a screen shot if that helps.

i still think its because of karma.

most likely karma. Try ask for a few spare karma points in the open thread so that you can get this fixed.

done. unboldened the top section and added a "summery break."

is a "summery break" the same as a "page-separation line?" i dont really see what a "summery break" does, but it was the closest thing i saw to a "page seperation line."

A summery break is like a winter break but warmer. A summary break is, I'm pretty sure, what Elo meant by a page-separation line.

If your article looks like A [summary break] B, then:

  • When it appears in a list of articles, A will appear along with a link to the full article.
  • When it is viewed on its own, you will see A and then B.

It doesn't produce any visual separation beyond an ordinary paragraph break; if you want more than that, you could e.g. put a horizontal rule after the summary break and before B.
