deleting a post

[zager]

hi, can anyone tell me how to delete a post.tony

[ecca]

I've been here for what seems like decades and sometimes there's a cross ( to delete ) by my posts and sometimes there's not.
So I never quite know what to do......

NB There is on this one......

Just press the EDIT button towards the top right - it's all in there, simples !

I can't see bugger all about deleting when I edit.

Open your own post.

Press the edit button.

Over on the left, just above the text area, there is a label: "Delete post".

Put a tick in the box just to its right (the box further marked "Once deleted the post cannot be recovered").

Press the submit button.

A message asks if you really really really want to delete the post.

Tick "Yes".

Done.

{Just checked it all through and it works as I describe above.]

OK, here's a screenshot after pressing the edit button.
Where's the delete post button ?

Hi Ecca
I just had a very quick look based on my own posts and it seems you can only delete a post if there are no replies (which I suppose makes sense as the replies are attached to the post).

Hi Ecca
This post has the delete button now but not the one I posted a few moments ago as it's been replied to by this second post.
Best wishes

Ah ! Thank you Rosemary, that's cleared it up.
