ChatGPT users frustrated as message editing disappears, forcing new chats
Innomen · reddit · 2026-09-17
A Reddit user complains that ChatGPT no longer allows editing replies in conversations. The new branching feature only creates a new chat from the AI's reply point, not from the user's prompts, so a 'poisoned' context renders the whole thread useless and forces painful recreation in a new chat. The post asks whether others share the frustration or if a setting changed.
