Deleting posts
« on: March 05, 2015, 08:37:43 PM »
Here's a question - why are we not allowed to delete our own posts?

I post some pretty rock stupid ones from time to time - sure would save me some embarrassment.

you can..... ;) Once posted and it's in the thread, look at the top right of your post, it should have, Quote, modify and remove, simply hit "remove".... ;)

  I think I started a thread once that I wanted to delete but seem to remember I couldn't, can't remember if somebody else had posted already on it but think so.
    It is very easy though to delete a response you made to another persons thread via Retro's instructions.

If I'm not mistaken, you can delete your own post, provided, it is not the first of a thread that has been replied to by others. The first, original post is the anchor for the thread, deleting it then would be problematic.

That was the issue.  Even without a reply to the thread, you couldn't delete it.

I don't see why deleting a thread with no replies would be a problem, it's just a record in some database.

Oh well, I guess the cure is to keep my trap shut. :-X
