Kappes Buur Posted October 30, 2014 Why the devil doesn't the forum software let me delete a post when I accidentally double posted? Isn't the Delete Post thing there for exactly that reason? Instead I am told that I cannot delete my own post. 0 Share this post Link to post

My guess is that they don't want people trying to cover up stupid shit they've said, hence why they also dislike when people blank their own posts. 0 Share this post Link to post

Person A deletes his post, and acts as if the others started... the wrong people get losered. 0 Share this post Link to post

Instead of the option "Edit/Delete" it's just "Edit" now. 0 Share this post Link to post

Because I still see this: Honestly, I don't want to click that button, so maybe I'm missing something, but that looks weird considering we can't actually delete posts. 0 Share this post Link to post
Linguica Posted October 31, 2014 Yeah, it's been that way for, what, 13 years at this point? It's just the way vBulletin was set up to work, even if you disabled deleting posts. If I had access to the server I could probably look at the code and find a way to hide it from non-moderators, but if it ain't broke etc. 0 Share this post Link to post
