Delete button

[UWSkier]

Any plans to enable this functionality? It's nice to be able to delete your own post if you say something stupid. It's also a good way to cheat on your post tally as your total doesn't decrement if you delete a post (at least it didn't with older versions of IPB). I think that's how Ruta got his astronomical post count.

Looking into Matt thanks that is a good feature to have.

I think I've got it enabled now, let me know how it looks on your end.

Yep works now.

[UWSkier]

Alright. Looks like the button shows up on any posts made from here on out. Awesome work!

[UWSkier]

Also looks like an original poster has moderator access to delete their own thread now. Don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I have a drop down menu like the mods normally do with this board with the option to "Delete this topic". I'm going to try it out and see if it lets me on a new thread.

Yep it works for me too.

"Delete this topic" functionality I mentioned above is fixed (gone)

My "edit" button is gone now though...

D'OH, nevermind. It's just gone on older posts.

I think there's a default time limit for editing posts, looks like it's set at 30 minutes right now.

aah, I see! Love the new emoticons BTW.

Thanks, it was kinda fun searching those out. I came across some that were....very funny to say the least.

I bet they weren't PG rated...

BTW I just sent you a PM about edits, and now I see you've posted here so just ignore the PM

You have to be careful with letting the writer delete the topic as you may lose valuable posts. I think the delete is a great idea, especially since I am prone to clicking too many times and haveing double posts when I get on a slow computer.
