How do you delete threads and posts?

[Swamp Fox]

I can't figure out how to delete a reply after I've typed it out but refrained from posting. So it's sitting there every time I come back to the thread, composed but in limbo ...

Shut up!

Thanks for weighting in on this topic with your valuable input.

That guy isn't much of a forum member. He does use the classifieds often but no constructive posts other than a snarky comment every couple years.

Maybe instead of this bullshit, somebody could just clearly explain how to delete a thread, or lock it, or change the prefix, since that was the original question and I’ve read this thread and still can’t figure it out 2.5 years later.

Sensitive subject......

If I delete my post because I thought better of it, does it really disappear?

No deleting of threads, just posts.



But I really enjoy it. Lots of gems around here can still be found.

Imagine if Drama Lamar or ROAL Reaper deleted their threads. We would have missed out on so much entertainment.

yes

Awesome, I thought stuff never disappeared on the internet.

If I delete a post, does it still count towards the number I need to use the classifieds?

Three dots at the bottom of your post is where the edit and delete functions are. Can’t edit thread titles or delete your thread, just your replies.

On my phone I have to select all then delete. Just erasing with the backspace button doesn’t work.

Thanks. I don’t have the three dots down there, but I do have an edit button for the content of the post. I did find the three dots at the top of threads I created, which seems to allow editing the thread title and changing the prefix in the classifieds. It’s just inconsistent with the classified rules.

Sorry I just realized it’s a bit different on a desktop. You do get a little more control with your classifieds such as the title and prefix but the ability to delete those hasn’t been around since the big software update several years ago.
