 * After an hour of editing newly added images, the Quick Edit option has disappeared.
   Several reboots, different browsers (Macintosh) but now MIA.
 * Any clues please
    Thanks Steve

 * Steve,
 * I am sorry to hear you’re having trouble with this MLA feature. When you say “**
   _has disappeared_**“, do you mean that the Quick Edit link no longer appears 
   in the rollover actions for items on the Media/Assistant submenu table? Or, do
   you mean that when you click it nothing happens or the area shows up blank or
   something else?
 * Sometimes you have to press the “Refreah” button on the browser to completely/
   cleanly reload the page (very rare).
 * If the link does not appear atall, remember that it is only present on the MLA
   Media/Assistant screen, not the WordPress Media/Library screen; I’ve made that
   mistake in the past.
 * If you give me more information I can be more helpful. Thanks for your interest
   in the plugin.

 * Hi David
    thanks for the quick response. I’ve been using MLA for over six months
   now and this seems to have happened since last nights automatic update to 3.8.1
 * In the MLA view the rollover actions no longer appear. I’ve tried resetting to
   the default within the settings, clearing browser caches etc. Restarting, rebooting
   and alternative browsers as I say. I’ve also gone through turning on and off 
   various options of display within MLA but still no change.
 * Very strange behaviour as it was working to start with. I literally left my machine
   after half an hour of editing, to go for something to eat. On my return nada,
   nothing, zilch – bugger all 🙂

 * Bugger all, indeed 🙁
 * I just updated to 3.8.1 and, of course, it’s working fine on my test system. 
   It’s pretty simple code and I can’t see how it would go wrong.
 * The only thing I can suggest would be for me to access your site and do some 
   testing myself. If you’re willing to set up an Author or Administrator account
   for me, send the credentials by using the “Contact Us” page on our web site:

 * I know that may not be possible and I completely understand. Thanks for your 
   patience, persistence and understanding.

 * Thanks for the kind offer David.
 * Details, as requested, in separate emails.
    I can’t remember if I said that I’ve
   also tried deactivating all plugins except for MLA as well, and as a final check,
   I tried logging in on a completely different machine (PC rather than Mac) to 
   eliminate the obvious.
 * Good luck and thanks again.

 * Thank you for the vote of confidence and for your messages. Unless I’ve missed
   it, I still need the URL of your site before I can follow up. You can reply to
   the e-mail I sent back to you at the address you provided.

 * The rollover actions are only added to the left-most of the following columns:
   ID/Parent, Title/Name, Title or Name. If you have eliminated all four of those
   columns, you won’t get the rollover actions.
 * I am happy that restoring one or more of those columns to your Media/Assistant
   submenu table restored the rollover actions and resolved the problem.
 * Thanks again for your help in getting to the bottom of this issue, and for your
   interest in the plugin.

 * Thank **YOU** David,
    I’m glad that we solved it between us. Keep up the good
   work.
 * Cheers.
