    Hi,

    I want to hide my previous posts so that people can't see what I previously posted, as my identity may have become compromised.

    Please advise!

    Can't be done I'm afraid. Anonymity is not guaranteed and should not be expected.

    So the only way is to change my username?

    If I want to remove specific posts, is this possible?

    Can you advise on the best way to fix this problem as I want to hide my identity from this particular person. (I don't have a desire to be an anonymous poster though)

    If you have issues with a small number of specific posts (like, no more than 5), you can send them on and I'll see about editing them, I probably won't delete them.

    There's no way to retroactively erase information from someone's brain. If this person has already identified you, then changing your posts or your name won't make you suddenly "disappear".

    Starting a new account is theoretically the only way of "hiding", but your posting style and the things you talk about can equally identify you just as much as the information you give out.
