Re: Add Delete Button Next To Posts
I hate that. There are a few of the older megatokyo era threads where you can see some users went through and deleted all of their own content making the thread unreadable.Troy Martin wrote:I think it should stay the way it is, because you all know how a topic goes to hell when someone like Shrek/whutever quits and writes POST DELETED on half of his posts, removing the original content.

Re: Add Delete Button Next To Posts
Is there a time frame before you can delete a post even if it is the last post in a thread?

No! I tested here, it is not possible to delete a post, even if it is the last post in the thread.neon wrote:Is there a time frame before you can delete a post even if it is the last post in a thread?

Nope, because on multiple occasions I've gone "aw f**k this sounds stupid/awwwwww f*********k this is likely to get me banned" so I've deleted it almost immediately after hitting th' "post" button.neon wrote:Is there a time frame before you can delete a post even if it is the last post in a thread?

Re: Add Delete Button Next To Posts
That's why I now always hit the "Preview" button before I hit submit, to make sure that my BBCode looks right, everything is spelt mostly right, and that it doesn't put me in any danger of getting in trouble.Nope, because on multiple occasions I've gone "aw f**k this sounds stupid/awwwwww f*********k this is likely to get me banned" so I've deleted it almost immediately after hitting th' "post" button.
It's just like working on the wiki: you always preview first to avoid spamming the recent changes feed (and history).
Re: Add Delete Button Next To Posts
I seem to be able to delete posts that are immediately posted. I cannot see the delete button for posts several minutes ago from other threads though .. even if its the last in that thread. 
*edit: hm, disregard the above
It seems to be fine now.

Re: Add Delete Button Next To Posts
Hi,
Cross-posting from autodelete forum: Brendan has solved the problem which was a registered users permissions thing. As neon noticed, for some reason some of the regular members could still delete their posts anyway Everyone should be able to delete their post if it is the last one in the thread now.
Cheers,
Adam
