How do I delete my own posts? There used to be a button or menu but I can't spot it anywhere...
Click Edit on the post.
You should have delete options available. We would prefer you use the "Soft Delete" option.
You should be able to delete any post of yours via the Edit button except if that post was the one that started a thread.
Exactly, it started the thread, that explains why the option was not available. But I see it has been moved to the test area -it was indeed a test post- so there's no need to delete it.Quote:

Only a mod can delete an entire thread.
I think PowerPosters can delete their threads in the Chit Chat section.
If you have under 2,048 posts you can't delete your posts from anywhere.
Is that True?Quote:

Yeah, it used to be that way, but now non-PowerPosters can't delete any of their posts including in Chit Chat, therefore only PowerPosters can delete their threads in Chit Chat.
Clear as mud?
:confused: Sure is! :lol:Quote:

True, but if it is in Chit Chat it really doesn't matter.
There is a vB feature where you can specify that after x number of hours/days the post will not be editable and/or deletable. It will prevent a use that is not a powerposter from coming back and wiping out their post with an edit.
