"can't save edits" monster rears its ugly head again

I've been trying to make edits to this post: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/669250

After hitting save I get a collapsed post with "saving..." in little red letters that just sits there. After five minutes I went back to the board, called up the post, and the edits aren't there. This has happened twice, and neither set of edits saved.

Let's try editing this one. These edits seem to have saved -- some kind of glitch in original post?

    1. >>> some kind of glitch in original post

      No, some sort of software glitch. For some reason I have never figured out some posts become un-editable. This is particularily true (and annoying) of Lists where maybe 1 out of 20 list items cannot be edited and the only thing to do is delete them and add them again. Sometimes the list description can't be edited either.

      This is true for this list where I would have liked to change the title to include the words "Part 1" All I get is the red "saving" which after five or more minutes goes away and the unedited title is restored.
