How do I remove a thread

[Freddyflintstone]

I have put a thread in general but it should be in Beginners.
I can't see the delete anymore like I use to (or do I need a new set of specs ! )
Many Thanks

report the thread and one of the mods will move or delete it for you.

And you don't need new specs, just a better memory, as users have never been able to delete their threads.

Ermm....
It was the Avatar (knew I had seen a delete somewhere - Phew ! memory back )

Found it
When you first enter a thread/reply a delete comes up at the bottem next to the Edit

You could delete your post if nobody had replied to it, so couldn't you do that if it was the only post in a thread too?

How's yer memory Norm

Can you delete the thread?

Can you delete the thread?

In the old board you could do it if you went into full edit. I think as Colin said, only if nobody had replied.
I will test it next time I start a thread.

Please forgive the hijack...
I can't start a new thread. I can reply, hence this being here.
I press 'new thread' and then have a form for my new thread title. (and one for a poll) but nowhere to put the message. If I press enter I get an error saying please enter a valid message!

You said you were previously able to delete threads, which is why I asked about deleting threads, not deleting posts.

I can't decide if this is comprehension issues or further evidence of memory issues.

I think it works in a logical way. If you start a thread and people reply to it, what right do you have to delete their posts by deleting the thread? As a hypothetical example - I would be extremely annoyed if gussington was able to delete this thread and chose to do so - I put hours of work into plotting his tour and posting the details!

Ok I made a mistake, I made a reference to the "Thread" and it should of been "Posting"
"Let the person who has never made a mistake, throw the first stone"
I had my answer on the 2nd posting by ttcycle, and I thank him for that.

So why the reference to my memory!!
The posts I have deleted were to try to clarify the situation so everyone understood

 

[Norm]

That's quite easy:

The first post said...

I can't see the delete anymore like I use to

... to which I replied that...

...users have never been able to delete their threads.

That would have been all if the post/thread error had been spotted earlier, but for your (now deleted)...

How's yer memory Norm

...sarcasm, taking the pee out of me when all I was trying to do was understand and resolve the problems you were having.

You started it - you can't deny that one

It's probably my age, but I remember ttcycle when she was still a woman...

Maybe, if you read the reply as being in the same tone that you posted "or do I need a new set of specs", you might see it in a different light.

"You started it"?
