Some folks log in while at work.
My cell phone, lately, won't let me log in. Don't know if it was the Firefox update or what, but it's been a real pain.

Well now we know the answer. People were d1cking around deleting old threads to affect the post counts of others. Thus we lost not only the ability to delete old posts but to edit them after a certain time period. I understand the mods needing to apply this remedy, but it sucks how we got here.I seem not to be able to delete a post. Is this a new feature?
I am on a laptop and Ipad and can't delete under either Using Explorer or whatever the ipad uses. I don't see it under "Go Advanced". I am not tech savvy so I understand I may just be missing something.
If so, how can one delete a post?
If not, why the new feature?
Thank you in advance.
I joined in 2012 and at one point edited my Intro post several years later to remove some information.The no edit feature after a certain time has been around since I joined in 2009.
The no delete feature is a more recent phenomena.

We also had people who wanted to have their Viking funeral and were going through and deleting every post they ever made, thus destroying lots of content that the members here had built over many years.
If someone has 25 posts in a single thread and they go through and delete them all, it destroys the continuity of the content.

Last year when I ran a karma, I was constantly editing the OP with updates. In fact, I have frequently updated the OP in threads that I've started to add or subtract information in the last two years.

no need to delete the posts, just ran into this recently were someone edited out tons of posts fro ma thread and ruining it. Deleting does the same thing. If you need one deleted send it over via Pm and I can take a look.
There is a 24 hour time limit to where you can though.

Holy S balls. Edit is gone too? What in the actual
If you want something edited, PM a mod or Texkev. It's doable.
