I have a number of threads that I started and posts that I made that I want to delete. Can I do this? If not, why not? __________________ www.gregorybeachbonsai.com ============================================== “Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain, and most fools do” ==============================================

Harry

not until I wasted time trying to remove some of them. I guess the software tech missed that day in school

there are restrictions on photo size due to space constraints. Right? why not let us delete some of the clutter and regain some space? I'd rather look at higher quality images than stale posts/threads.

hey. show me how to delete this stuff and this will be the first thread to go.

I believe that there is a 1 hour window after posting in which you can make changes to a given post (it used to be 24 hours, but we found that some less scrupulous members were using this 'grace period' as a means to bait others). Generally, we don't allow threads to be deleted, especially once others have replied. We hope the promise of permanence will make folks think twice before posting. Feel free to contact me or the other Mods direct with details, and we'll consider each case on its merits. Thanks.

I should also mention that we don't generally perform mass-pruning of threads without good reason.

Please PM me or the other Mods with your concerns.

Thanks.

Old threads just sort of fade away. We really only delete something if it needs to be removed for reasons other than that you are embarassed that you ever posted it. We all have old threads that we started, that we wish we hadn't. Joanie __________________ Yasha's Bonsai Blog No actual bonsai yet, but 100% doggie cuteness
