So I submitted a post and re-read it (as usual) and found a typo (as usual) so I clicked the edit button.

It processed and processed, took a lot longer than usual, and when the edit window displayed, there was a (new?) section at the top with the option to delete a post?????

YAY!! Is this new? Or was I just not seeing it before?
How exciting to have the ability to delete a post!
How long does this option remain available after submitting?

ACK! I just did it again but the delete option was not there! I swore I saw it before. Was I imagining it?

Ugh, I feel silly. I wish I could delete this post now.

Yep, just tried it again. Nothing. Darn.

Hello!

If you start a thread you will not be able to delete it but you can edit it. You would need to get a moderator to delete your thread.

When you reply to a thread though you have up to 4 hours in which to delete or edit it.

Hope this makes sense.

ohhhh! OK - so that is the difference. Thank you Pegasus.
That does help.

I never knew I could delete a response.
I thought the mods had to do it.
I guess I wasn't paying attention.

I feel like such an idiot sometimes. oh well.

It's all a learning experience No reason to feel anything other than "oh wow, I learned something new today!"
Thanks for this!

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
