Delete post option

Oldjim — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 13:26:22 GMT

The delete post option appears on the first post in a thread but it doesn't work - message is that you cannot delete posts in this forum.
I assume that one is not allowed to delete the originating post in a thread but in that case the delete option shouldn't appear.

Still happening I see.
I wonder if it was intended that you could only delete the first post when there had been no replies?

From what I can see, deleting your own posts which are not the first in a topic seems to work correctly.
I'm wondering if it is just a case that it's putting up the wrong error message (probably easier to fix than making it conditionally display the Delete icon).

Can someone screenshot an entire thread (that they've started and subsequently posted in) please?
You can use something like Screen grab for Firefox.

Not sure about this one - nothing actually goes wrong but it is confusing.
Could the error message say something about you cannot remove the starting post of a topic and if it really needs to be deleted please use the Report to Moderator link to request removal?
