Or am I just imagining that there ever was one? :D I need to be more careful, if I can't delete the things I never should have posted in the first place. :eek:

The "Poll" is just because I've never done one. ;)

The Delete button doesn't appear until you actually post the message. If it is still in edit mode you have to backspace or click and drag to select it and use the delete key.

Edit: I take that back. There DID use to be a delete key. Gone now. Click "edit", select and use keyboard delete key?

Edit2: Yes, that works. (then Save or Cancel)

As I recall, it was only in some forums, not all. And I have no idea why some had it and others didn't. And I can't recall which ones did to be able to look for one.



Edit .....

Well, dadgummitall, lookee there!!!!

Maybe that's just because of the MagicModWand?


Hmmm, can't be now that I think of it. I don't have magic powers outside the FP, so .....

Edit; so I am not losing it?
Or at least this isn't another sign that I am. :D

Maybe there is a shorter time period that a person can delete a post now?

edit: I just looked for this post.....no delete option.
