    Delete one of MY own threads

    ADMIN:
    How can I delete one of "my" old threads?
    I tried to use the edit Select Delete check box than Delete Now but it said I couldn't access that feature for serval reasons.
    I no longer want that thread posted.
    Thanks....
    Also while I think about it, why is the Who's Online feature not ON?
    Thanks again....

    The Who's online feature was turned off because of privacy issues.

    You can always add members to your buddy list to tell if they are online.

    Why can you not delete one of your own threads?

    Just because a thread starter does not want a thread to remain, others may not agree. If you don't want your post to remain, edit the post and delete the text or ask a mod to delete the post. The best solution is to think about what you are typing before you submit your post.

    users cannot delete threads because it caused for some trouble in the past with certain users causing problems and then having the ability to delete a thread.
