    Howcome you can't delete threads you started anymore?
    Before if you went into Edit there was an option to delete the thread but it's gone?

    You can delete a post (including an OP) for up to 24 hours after you've posted it or edit it for up to 48 hours. After that, you'll need to report it to ask mods to delete/edit.

    You can only delete a thread you've started by deleting the first post, but only if no-one's replied to it.

    Not so.
    I created this thread yesterday less than 24 hours ago.
    No-one has replied to it, but when I click on ''Edit'' the delete option is not there

    Can you put up a screenshot?
    You should be seeing a Delete button first before you get the option

    Ok on the PC when I click on edit mode no delete button appears at all. Everytime I try to upload the screen shot to here the browser crashes.
    On the phone an option called 'delete mode' appears but when I select it I get the message 'you are trying to delete the first message in a thread but you don't have permission to delete threads'

    Would I be right in saying I can't upload a screen shot to a comment here from my Phone (Android)? I can't see an option for it when I'm on boards on my phone

    The attachment option is a bit broken after the move to Cloudflare. Try using imgur.com or the like in the mean time.

    Screen shot attached. Could an admin pretty please delete this thread for me as boards wouldn't allow me to even when I was within the 24 hours and even though there were no replies?

    I've deleted the thread now. No one can view those attachments as attachments still aren't working. If you follow Spear's advice and use a hosting site for the images, that would be helpful.

    Thanks.

    Any chance you can delete this thread too. It appears I'm having the same problem. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057560338

    That's not the same issue, that thread has replies. You'll need to ask the D15 mods about that.
