Delete your own post

I only thought to ask about this because of a comment by Tammy Herzog in the Chit Chat sub-forum.

I'm assuming the forum is phpbb, of course, because it looks like it, but this is the first forum (not just having to do with scrapbooking) I've been on where users aren't allowed to delete their own posts. Just curious why it's disallowed.

Can you give some direction to the post which you are referring, Vidia? I am not sure that there is a limitation on which forums you can delete your own post from? I will ask Jordan and see what I can find out for sure or have him come here and answer you. smiley

It was this one.

I remember not seeing the comment thread for the Feb blog train early Sunday morning. I wake up early because of my dogs. Plus, I know Marisa's on the west coast. So, I assumed Tammy posted it there because Marisa hadn't woken up/logged in yet to create the BT comment thread. Anyway, as you can see for yourself, she asked about deleting her post herself. That's when it clicked in my head that there isn't a "delete" button for users. lol

I found your post Vidia... LoL

I've got a message in to Jordan to find out if it's not possible for you members but let me ask you and Tammy a question:

Do you see an edit or delete button at the bottom of your posts?
Looks like this picture:

That's funny Vidia... I was commenting in the other thread I had just a couple minutes ago when I was going through the forums... and just came back while you were in here to let you know here too. smiley

LMK and I will keep you updated on the answer IF you can not see what I showed above on your posts in the picture. It may be we have to delete them for y'all or there may be a glitch.

I commented in Tammy's thread. But, for Jordan's sake if he pops on this one: No, the delete button is not there, just Edit and Reply.

Hi Vidia, thanks for the feedback. We are using different software (not PHPBB), and some of the permissions are difficult to fine-tune.

For now, if you want to delete your post, just edit it, and replace all the text with something like "[DELETED FOR X REASON. MODERATORS: PLEASE REMOVE.]

And then the moderators can remove the post for you.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Oh no, it's not an inconvenience. I was just curious about it, that's all. smiley Good advice if I (or anyone else) ever need a post deleted. Thanks for replying!
