:If you're not brave enough to mess with your cookies, just hit the "preview" button before actually saving; it'll come up with you logged in still, and you can check the minor edit box there. [[user:Brion VIBBER|Brion VIBBER]], Thursday, May 23, 2002

::This isn't much of a solution. Basically, it means that the only times I can use the "minor edit" box are (a) when I'm creating a completely new article and (b) when I do a preview first. In other words, it only appears on the two occasions when I am least likely to want it. [[user:Deb]]

::Did you skip the part where I explained that the problem is already fixed (for the future) in the development version, and that you can fix it yourself to work properly NOW by editing your cookies? If you're neither patient nor willing to tinker yourself, well I'm very sorry, but there's not much I can do about it. --[[user:Brion VIBBER|Brion VIBBER]], Monday, May 27, 2002

::FWIW, I edited my cookies and the problem is still there. I'll have to take a closer look (at the files on my computer, that is &mdash; the programme code is your end). But in the meantime, I'd like to strongly suggest that one ''always'' press <code>Preview</code> before pressing <code>Save</code>, no matter how minor the edit &mdash; better safe than sorry. Given that, you just need to get into the habit of marking your edit as minor towards the end of the editing process rather than towards the beginning. (Also a good idea, since I've noticed that sometimes minor edits end up not being so minor once I'm through with them!) &mdash; [[user:Toby Bartels|Toby Bartels]], Tuesday, May 28, 2002
