    When I click on edit below my post, there is no option to delete, there is only save, go advanced or cancel.

    How can I delete??? :confused:

    You cannot delete a thread after a certain amount of time has passed (IIRC 24 hours, but I could be wrong) or once someone has replied to it. After this if you want to remove it PM the forums mods and ask them to remove it for you.

    This is why I'm confused! No replies and 24 hours hasn't passed yet!

    Do this and there is an option for "Delete this Message". Click on "Delete Message" and add a reason and press the "Delete this Message" button. It may then ask for your password. Enter password and confirm.

    Seriously, there is no delete message option under advanced!

    These are the options I have when I go advanced:

    There's no other options at the top...apart from 'reason for editing'. :(

    There's nothing like that. If there was I wouldn't be here! :)

    All I have is this:

    Syco just replied to it, so that ends that it seems, as you'll now need a mod to delete it.

    But in general, there should always be the delete option at the top once you select "go advanced." If it occurs again let us know.

    Thanks anyway...maybe it only occurs when you're trying to delete a thread rather than just a single post? I had already messaged a mod. Oh well. If i get banned, I get banned! I give up! :(

    It should still work for the first post so long as it's the only post on the thread.
