Deleting Posts

[Christo et Doctrinae]

Hi,

When I edit posts, I have an option to delete the entire post. I tried to use that tonight and received the following message:

Ambleside Online Forums

Do regular (non-mod) users not have the option of deleting their own posts?

I think that might be the case (and I think there was a good reason for it, if I remember correctly). Phyllis or Leslie would have to confirm that.

That's right. If you really need to get rid of something you wrote, edit and take the text out. Or, if it's a double post or something like that, ask a moderator to delete it. We had a few instances of people accidentally deleting or posts "just disappearing," so we changed the settings a while ago.
