Can't Delete Topic

[Neal Cassady]

Anyone else ever have this problem. I started a new thread instead of replying to an existing thread. Went to delete it and the board said no.



Here the url of the thread I started and can't delete.

I tried to delete a post several months ago to no avail. I figured it eventualy would be fixed.

I need some sleep

I could have swore I deleted a thread before. Maybe it was on another board, maybe I just imagined it.



Maybe it was on the previous version the board was running.

Clarification

I think (and I'll double check) that you still can delete your post, provided it IS NOT a thread starter.



From time to time - the individual who starts the thread doesn't like the direction it goes in and when they delete their post, the entire thread is deleted. Then we get complaints from others who posted to the thread. This is one of those we're "darned if we do, we're darned if we don't" situations. So we tried to come up with a good, middle-of-the-road, solution. Anyone can delete their own posts provided they are not thread starters. And anytime someone has a post that needs to be deleted that they started, they just e-mail one of us at: rpatton@ix.netcom.com, and we're very happy to help out.



Now with all of that said, I will double check my facts, and if I've posted anything wrong, I'll correct it. But all of my reference material is at the office, and I'm currently working from home.



Hope this helps.

I've tried to delete the my first post in a thread before to no avail, but was able to delete the entire thread "Would someone fix the clock" with six replies in this forum just yesterday. Clock was fixed, figured no more need for the thread. Leads me to believe that each forum has different rules. My deleted thread was also deleted from the search functions.
