on the old forum it let me delete a topic if no-one replied to it, but i dont have the priviliges on this one

is it meant to be like this or is something wrong:confused:
 
Gaz, I think we are only allowed to delete within the first 24 hours of a post being made [and similarly with edit].

After this time, you need to PM a mod to delete it.

Gaz,

You tried going into Edit at the bottom, then deleting the post?

Or has that now time-expired as well - EDIT - just looked, no only an hour ago.
 
i have tried that and the delete feature doesnt appear, it only appears if i want to delete a post and not a thread

i have gone to thread tools -> delete thread -> ok

i get and error message sying i dont have the priviledges too do that, i just find that really strange

i could always edit my topic and leave the post blank but that would be a waste then
 
Strange, coz when I click on edit you should get a 'delete message' at top and a 'edit message' underneath.

No one has replied to it, so I can't understand why the post just can't be deleted, which should then delete the thread by default surely.
 
i only get delete at the top, if i want to edit/delete a reply that i have posted

i can edit my topic no problem, but the delete part doesnt appear at the top

if i use thread tools i get this message:

gaz_wrexham, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
 
i would i thought i could do it myself, but im mustnt be that special :(

i could just edit my topic and leave it blank, then people will be thinking im cool:cool: or maybe just stupid:eek: for posting a blank topic
 
Hello Mr Cape and welcome :). Finally another FF member in Carlisle, what is the world coming to ;). There was a time limit on how long you were allowed to have to edit/ delete posts but I'm not sure if Ben did ever get rid of it or not. Anyway, as he suggests if it's been some time best bet is to contact the mod of that section (does it have one?) or either himself or Pete (fix it again tomorrow).
