How come instead of the long page(s) of posts, all I'm getting is the original post and a list of responses...have to click on each one to read separately? Went to my controls and can't see a way to change this back.

In the upper right hand corner of your post you will see a dropdown window labeled "options". Click on this and pick standard display. Some how yours got changed. It has mysteriously happened to me too in the past, but not recently.

OK, so how do you Delete a Reply? (my reply was posted and I want to Delete it all together)

This happens to me all the time on the "other" site. I have no idea why.

And then how do I delete a thread like this one? The FAQ says to use the "Moderation" option at the lower right hand corner of my original post, but it doesn't exist.

In fact, the "Delete Thread" FAQ shows a visual from 914Club!

Can't delete threads or responses here. Its a policy put in place after the split to retain content.

I normally edit my reply and replace the text with the word "Deleted." You can still tell something was there, but you can't tell what it was.

Then somebody should consider doing some housekeeping and redo some of the FAQs. Just a suggestion.

Just a suggestion, how about you DON'T delete your posts and topic titles.

Has it ever occurred to you that someone else may could have benefited from this thread in it's original form?

Now it's just dead weight and won't show up in somebody's search for the same problem you had.

We really try to collect and preserve information here, that's why we disabled user invoked thread deletion in the first place ...

I will never do that again...deepest apologies.

Posted by: kenshapiro2002 Oct 6 2009, 05:52 PM

No it's not...I fixed it!

Love you man!

Knock it off you guys or we'll be forced to delete this thread...

Andy wants you to try to fill up his servers....unlike most other forums!

Posted by: kenshapiro2002 Oct 6 2009, 07:18 PM

If that's some kinda euphemism, I don't go that way.

Harddrive space is dirt cheap and we've got plenty to fill up ...
