Hey Tim,

Is there any way to delete posts? I was playing with images and made a mess.

Also, any chance I can change my individual option to HTML instead of BBCode?

Thanks!

    Bil:

    If you are logged in, you should be able to quote, edit or delete your posts. I just tested it... look all the way to the right of your post and you should see an "X" for delete.

    Best,
    Chad

    Thanks, Man. I missed that. I'll give it a try.
  • bilirubenbiliruben
    Ah. I see now why I missed it. I can't see it at all in firefox. The right side of the post is cut off, so I can't edit.

    That's what happens when you cheat on the evil empire!

    It happens with the "evil empire" too. Using IE7, the right side of the posts are cut off.
  • synthetiksynthetik
    I'm now seeing the same thing, even with IE7. At home it looked OK but here on a different PC the right edge is cut off.

    I see the problem you guys are having. It appears to only be happening on that one thread in the economics forum, correct? I'll work on a fix, but I may not have time this morning, as I'm off to catch a ferry and enjoy my day off with my wife.

    Sorry for the trouble!

    Hey Tim,

    The width problem has cropped up on new topics.

    Also, how do you just delete posts?

    Thanks.
  • The_TimThe_Tim
    The width thing tends to happen when someone posts a long URL as text. I've been trying to catch those and convert them into shorter links as they come. Unfortunately I haven't had the time to come up with a long-term solution yet. If there are still threads with this issue please link to them.

    To delete a post you have made, click the little 'X' on the upper-right of the post.
  • bilirubenbiliruben
    Thanks, Tim.

    I don't see an X however.
  • The_TimThe_Tim
    Here is an example of the 'X' I'm referring to: forumexample.png

    It's the button beside "Quote" and "Edit."

    You don't see that on your posts when you're logged in?
  • bilirubenbiliruben
    Nope.

    I saw one briefly on the above post, but now it's gone.
  • bilirubenbiliruben
    I'm not sure it really makes sense to have to go to the last page of a post to see any new ones.

    1) Two potential ways to fix, just put everything on one page.

    2) Put newest posts first.

    Not sure which is better.
