You cannot delete your post if someon has replied to you unless you are one of the Adventurous Adminstrators

[Pippa-Stef]

That's strange, becuase I can!

but then again- No one quotes my posts!

But, you cannot delete your post if someone has already replied to it and its for ALL members of course! But this seems to be but of a mystery to me.

Maybe, you are a hidden member of the Famous Five then!

Why are you stuck in a standby, Nigel?!

On a standby, dear fellow! I was in a response car, Saturday night, and these are kept out most of the time, at locations where cover is minimal. In this way, Government targets have a better chance of being achieved (75% of Category A calls being reached in under 8 minutes).

I really want some of my posts to be completely deleted

I am intrigued as to why....

Sometimes when looking back at old posts I think “did I really write that?!” but then most posts are probably not read again after the first few days.

Why should you want to delete them? I know many of my posts make perfect sense to me when I write them, yet when I read it later on, I think, "sheesh, that's just rubbish!" and get a good laugh at myself. I'd like many of my posts to be deleted, but I'd prefer they stay on the forum more, because sometimes rereading them reminds me of how I've grown, and sometimes I just can't help calling myself an idiot. Just what is needed for stuck-up people like me.

I'm pretty sure I know why you want them to be deleted, Julian - it's not a very good reason!

[Tony Summerfield]

You stuck-up, Ming, never! I think what you are saying is that we all get older and wiser and perhaps it is a good idea to leave older posts, just to show how we have matured!

[Ming]

Yes, that is what I mean Tony, you have put my thought to words perfectly! Strange that I couldn't phrase that!

Incidentally I cannot make up my mind whether the Olympic posts from the new member are spam or not!

[Tony Summerfield]

Yes, it most certainly is a spammer and they had already posted four times before I noticed them. I don't know who activated the account, but it wasn't me. I always check email addresses before activating an account and the minute I checked this one I realised it was a spammer and deactivated the account immediately!

[Anita Bensoussane]

I haven't activated any accounts either.

[Moonraker]

It's just our Chinese friends plugging the Olympics, I would imagine. Pretty obvious really; we have been spared Spam for a long time now. Which of our administrators is the Weakest Link?
