I use taxonomy module a lot on my site but when I edit a node, the Categories section doesn't appear in the edition form so I cannot add or remove categories to an existing post. This is weird because it appears right in the node creation form.
Any idea?

In fact, my problem seems a little more serious than I thought.
In fact I noticed that this "bug" appears only on recent posts:
- when I save a new post with vocabulary terms associated to it, those term/node relationships are not persisted: I've checked in the database and there is no entry in term_node for the corresponding node
- once the content is saved, the list of terms is not dsplayed at the top of it, which is coherent with the fact that associated terms were not saved
- but what's more strange is that when I edit the node, the "Categories" section is not displayed in the edition form! On what condition is that section not supposed to be displayed? I've tried to have a look at the code but I can't figure out where this section is supposed to be displayed.
It seems that someone in the administration team of my site did something wrong, or I did something wrong... but the thing is that I miss a starting point to even identify the source of the problem.
Please help...!!!
FYI
I finally found out what was going wrong. As a matter of fact, it had nothing to do with the age of my posts. All the problem came from the fact that I'm using i18n in combination with taxonomy and I hadn't translated the vocabularies into the language in which I wrote my last posts. I had to translate those for which it was relevant, and I set the language to neutral for universal vocabularies (like programming languages for example) and now everything is right.
Problem solved...
