Hootoo won't let me Update or change any entries!

When I click the Update Entry button, it takes me back to a generic (ie no U-number) Edit screen and not to the Entry itself.

Just thought someone would like to know.

"I take it you see
< <./>useredit</.> > in the address bar on creating,

Followed by something like ../A4521953?s_fromedit=1 on creation [Add Guide Entry] button

Then following the [Edit Entry] button you get ../UserEdit4521953

make some changes

Hit the [Update Entry] and the you get < <./>useredit</.> >
instead of the expected ../A4521953?s_fromedit=1

Can you give me some examples of pages which you can't edit, and pages which you can? I have a slight suspicion where the problem might lie, but I'd need to see which specific pages are and aren't giving problems before I can say for sure.

I was having a lot of difficulty editing one of the tables in Phantasy Phootball A4457739. All OK now, mind you.

This is the page I was trying to edit A3957249 around 10 hours ago.

It's fine now smiley - erm

A few weeks ago it was my PS that I coudn't edit (but the above entry was ok), but eventually my PS became editable again too.

OK, I just tried something else. I can edit A3957249 when I type directly into the text box. But when I cut and paste from a word processing programme and press update the page just goes to the unedited version.

I've tried both a text programme and a word programme and they both won't update.
