some members have come to me to get there posts deleted as they could not find a delete button to do so themselves. as you may or may not be aware the sites are being worked on at the moment and the missing delete buttons are a concern. so to see if its a question or it not being there or just not knowing what to look for i thought a few pic's and some delete instructions would help clear things up.
the first thing to keep in mind is if you want to delete the hole thread all you do is delete the first post in the thread and all that fallow will also be deleted. you have to be the one that started the thread to do this as you can only delete your own posts. any post after the first post will only delete its self and will not effect the rest of the post, only the first post has the domino effect.
to delete :
first hit the edit button at the bottom of your post .( pic D) see the red square and arrow.
on the edit screen you should have a delete button, ( pic D1) see the red square and arrow.
click that and a delete section will be added to the bottom. ( pic D2) see the red square and arrow.
click the the circle beside the delete this message on the bottom left.(D2) and the delete this message button will appear and you can delete. giving a reason for deleting is optional.
you can also reach the delete option with the go advanced button, after hitting the going advanced button (next to the delete button in D1) you will get the same delete message bottom only it will be on the top of your post,(d4) again hit the delete option then the bottom.
again you do not need to give a reason for deleting its your choice. some times we type things in the heat of the moment we may think better of at a later time or just decide we don't like what we typed. aether way we don't have to leave it there for every one to see if we don't want to.
if you don't have these options please say so here so the Tec.'s working on the site can be aware of the problem and find a fix.
