Technical Question

#1 Post by Rexer25 » Thu Nov 08, 2007 3:19 pm

I know this may be in the wrong forum, but can you delete your own posts after there has been another post in the thread? I was going to see what happened if I pulled a post out of the middle of the pyramid, but there's no delete box in the top right hand corner.
Enough already. It's my fault! Get over it!

That'll be $10, please.

Apparently not, from what I can tell.

Even if you did delete a post that was later quoted, the text of the original post is in the reply, so it would not make the reply (or a block in the pyramid) disappear....

True. If I took the time to think about this clearly, I wouldn't have bothered trying to delete the post. But we're still unable to delete posts except for the latest post in a thread. Not that it will affect the price of a barrel of oil...

No, the most you can do then is edit your own post, leaving it blank but the rest of the thread intact.
