deleting a thread you start

[Guest S****r]

I sometimes see that people have deleted a thread that was started by them. How do you do that?

You can, I believe it's within 24 hours of posting your thread, edit your thread. Click on the edit icon at the bottom of your post, a window with your post comes up which you can edit.

If you wish to delete your post entirely you should make a note that you deleted your post so people won't be scratching their heads

And if your post has been quoted, well it's there to stay unless that person can edit and you can sweet talk him/her into editing and deleting it

It's an ad that I posted that I want to delete, as the circumstance have changed. I can no longer edit it, as the 24 hours is up. I tried.

 

But I sometimes see an entire thread delete by the original poster, not the mod.

Just wondered how to do that.

For your ad situation contact the Mod to see if he can delete it

I don't think any one poster, even a thread starter (I may be wrong here, don't quote what I say as gospel) can delete a whole thread. But if a thread begins to go sideways the Mod may either close the thread, or sometimes delete it in entirety

Good Luck

You can only do this in the SP-Only section. That's probably where you saw it :)

Any wonder I haven't seen it then :-)
