Post Deletion?
 

how do i delete a post i made a few days ago?

I've noticed it gives me the option to edit but not delete...

You can't.

Wow that was a quick response ty...lol

but ...how come that's not an option?

I've looked around and this site is awesome ...even shows you what ppl are doing at a given time....feel like all eyes are upon me on every click lol ....

Because if people can delete individual posts after they are responded too, then it can make the flow of a topic really messed up.

For example, I made a post in the backing forum that I didn't really think through and it made me look like an idiot. I would like to delete that post now, but there have already been several replies to it and if I got rid of it the conversation in the thread wouldn't be very coherent.

Time for class though,

You can delete responses that you make, just not posts that start a thread.

i understand that .....but in my case i made a post and there are no replies to it and now i've already found the answer to the question i had on that 1 post ....so it's just there for no reason ....

oh i can delete responses connected to a thread? how??

made a dumbass of myself in one post response would like to delete that now lol

You can only delete posts for a certain amount of time - the same goes for editing. As Hawt explained, deleting old posts would ruin the "flow" of the conversations in the forum.

*I* can delete posts anytime, but I won't unless there are special circumstances.

Reply to it and explain yourself. That's a better way.

OR just let it fade off into oblivion and die on it's own.

hmmm...so if i ask you real nice to please please please delete a post for me ....then you'll do it ? lol :p

Already tried to apologize to him (BrianSwa) don't think he accepted it though ....told him i'd delete the post but just didn't know how to do it ....

Either link to it or PM me about it. I don't even know what post you are talking about.

And don't feel bad about upsetting BrianSwa. We all have at one time or another. He's actually been relatively sane recently, but give him time...

I'm a newbie here don't know how to link yet....... it was in the Gavin Post where newbies need not respond....

HUH??? i just noticed i'm a DONKEY now???ewwww i don't wanna be referred to as a jackass lol

rather be a fishy in the deep blue sea

what's with the donkey label anyway?

I think you go from "Fish" to "Donkey" when you hit 50 posts.

busy
 

I wasnt mad at you dont worry about it, just really busy as of late. You didnt do anything wrong to be honest. Stop being so worried about what people think of you, hell if I did I would never log on here at all. Its a great forum with alot of great users on it.

As for the Gavin thread just didnt want any of the drama that was in the main poker forum to cloud up the actul content I was trying to type in the thread. Plus none of the new users knew anything about Gavin and all the old users did so the post was mainly meant for them. I gave the link out to you and the other guy because you two seem actully like you are making the effort to become quality posters. Well at least you did after your initial couple of posts.....anyway welcome to forum.

correct
 

your donkey, fish, etc all depend on how many posts you have. Eventully you will be able to pick youre own once you reach high enough post counts.

To link: Just go to the post you want, highlight the address in the navigator bar, click edit>Copy (or just control-C) and then paste it into the thread where you want a link.

TY ...you're the only one who's actually welcomed me in here....not that i was waiting breathlessly for a nice welcome but it's nice....


I'd like to also ty for showing me the link to Gavin's site...he's one beautiful kid and i don't usually pray ....but i actually took the time last night to say a little something on his behalf, to the man upstairs....

k...let me try this ...now what do i want to link to? ...ok i know i'll link it to something i said about you ...hmm




k ...let's hope this works....

so which one is the right one ? in the second url i first clicked on edit then copy .....

yep
 

1st one worked fine.

2nd one I dont have acess to get to it probolly because its a private link or something.

ok so YaY i got through my first lesson lol

ty Pshabi for showing me how to do it ...and thx Brian for testing it out for me and telling me which worked and which didn't ...see i was able to get to both of them ....

The first one was correct. This isn't anything special. Just like if you wanted to link to google, you would paste (or type):



The second link you posted is the link to Edit your post... not sure why you would want to send people to that page.

P.S. WELCOME to the forum.

umm i don't know why i clicked on the 2nd one either lol ...*blonde moment?* shoot can't use that excuse since i'm not blonde lol

TY for the welcome and glad to be here....
