I seem to have lost the ability to Delete a post on a thread... anyone else?

I had a previous post that i wanted to remove and couldn't. Instead i had to edit it, remove the words then leave 3 dashes....

I did wack my head today on the lift, but i am pretty sure i remembered how to do it. Lol

uhoh did you get thrown into "Ryans special people" work group? :P im not sure i ever knew how to delete a post...

(posting this ot see if i can figure it out)

hmm i can click my post # (mine is #2) in the upper right corner of my post - theres a delete button... but doesnt appear to do anything...

i suppose you could edit your post and just delete your text...

Be careful my compadres (I'm brushing up on my Spanish before heading back to the border). Be sure you know what your saying before hitting that post button.

I suppose I should try to delete this post.

Well, now, the delete button is missing. It was right there a couple days ago.

Spanish??? Hard to imagine a less relevant language here!

Why delete something you have written ?

My sentiment exactly. That's why I've never ever used an eraser in my lifetime.

Test
Failed, nothing here to see. Delete option not showing.

Tom Wesenberg · 02-02-2017, 11:54 AM

Didn't I read the other day something about Ryan removed the delete option?

Guess I'll find out if I can't delete this reply.

Well, I went to "go advanced" twice and clicked on "Delete", but it doesn't work.

I would think it would be an important option in case you had second thoughts or found the answer to the question you'd posted.

No, I have no delete option,either.

"found the answer to the question" ; don't delete, but let others share.
"an important option in case you had second thoughts" : NO, here we say : turn your tong 7 times around before you say something. Once said or written it's too late.

Mitch//pa · 02-02-2017, 12:10 PM

Okay i guess we all lost the feature....

When you subscribe to a thread, there is a option to get an instant notification by email. I usually select this option. What ever was in the "post reply" is sent to my phone, even if you deleted it, or edit it, you receive what was originally posted.

Jeff/Illinois · 02-02-2017, 01:02 PM

From Boy Scouts, I recall '---' being Morse Code for the letter 'O', as in SOS

... --- ... dot dot dot, dash dash dash, dot dot dot

Maybe Ryan is trying to send us a message

Or look at it another way. If this was Johnny Cochran defending OJ he would say 'If you can't repeat, you must delete.'

We have to be careful what we say on here.

3.6rs · 02-02-2017, 01:07 PM

What a mess it's going to be to read threads if everyone is now going to delete posts...

I edited my last post to conform with the scouts
