delete doesn't work
 

I've noticed a couple of times now where I find out an answer to my question before anyone posts a reply, and I want to delete my post because what I asked is just so completly wrong that it can't get an answer, but when i try to delete it it says that I'm either not logged in or I don't have permission. It does say I'm logged in as myself, and I have checked to make sure I was trying to delete the right thread. It does however allow me to edit the post so maybe this is just some safety you instituted?

only moderators can delete, you can edit your post and leave just one character, like a period or something, that's as close to a delete as we (peasants,peions,surfs, toadies)can get.

You should never really delete a post anyway. If you find a solution you should post it. If you are having a problem then chances are someone else will have the same problem. By posting your fix you will be helping someone else.

yah i know, its just when I figure out that I was doing something completly wrong and the question barely made sense, I want to delete it, but then half the time someone gives me a fairly good answer like with this post and the post I did that made me do this post...

damn i'm tired and need food, so uhmmm yah ignore everything i've said
<delete>:D

nope... no delete for the regular members. all the mistakes, bad advice, and massively erroneous information we dole out here is archived for eternity.
