I did some CSS customization to my theme, but now I am unable to find the Edit HTML/CSS button.

[Restrict editing of remote themes](https://meta.discourse.org/t/restrict-editing-of-remote-themes/170051) means that you need to update the theme in github.

Since this comes up almost every day now, can we put a notice on the page that says something like

> 📣 If you want to edit this theme, you must [edit it on GitHub](https://github.com)

Where the last part is a direct link to the github repo for that theme.

We’re way _way_ past rule of 3 on this one @eviltrout @sam.

We should do something, but we can’t say “edit on Github”, most users won’t have repo access to do that…

What if we said:

> If you want to edit this theme, you must [submit a change on GitHub](https://github.com/)

Sounds good to me! I think that page needs some kind of pointer or direction for people who want to edit; we’ve had way more than 3 meta topics about it since the change.
