Delete Posts?

Post by The Preacher »

Did we lose that ability? I can't seem to find it for one of my posts.

This is the post I'm having trouble with:

I tested another one here so I guess we still can. Just not in this one case. Weird.

I think it only lets you delete if there are no posts following it.

So now I can't delete my previous. But I can delete this one. Until someone posts after it.

LawBeef has it correct. Only folks with moderator powers for that forum, or forum admin powers can delete a post if there are any responses afterwards. Prior to responses, the original poster may still erase their post.

Posts can be edited by their original author provided the thread is not locked.
