How to edit/delete posts/threads?
« on: August 14, 2014, 01:33:45 PM »
Hey, I was wondering if it is possible to edit or delete specific posts or threads?

I'm assuming that it may require help from a moderator, but I have no idea how to contact one.

Thanks for any help.

You can edit a post which you made, for a short while after you first posted it, (one hour I think), but you cannot delete a post, although you can edit it down to one character. You certainly cannot delete a thread. Why would you want to delete a post or a thread?

In one of my posts years I was copying and pasting information that I'd prefer not pop up when doing specific Google searches. It's not sensitive info but I'm just going back and removing any instance of it across the web.

All I really need to do is edit a few lines of a post or two made years ago, but assume that only a moderator can do it.

Click on the "Send PM" link and send a PM. I do not know if they will do this.
