Ok so you have to edit the post and then you can delete it. (Can you delete posts after they have been replied to? From what I can remember you cannot edit them so most likely you cannot delete them either)

Ohhhhh, I think there's something to that. It's either reply or a time thing. I don't see the edit button on my old posts. I do see the edit button on the one you just replied to, but then it was moved to this thread.

I do have a test account that I do work with. However the global settings are such that it allows people to edit and delete their own posts. However if you created a thread, it won't allow you to delete the thread. If you are having a problem, please let me know via PM.

Oh I am not having a problem, but we are trying to figure out how much normal people can edit their own posts. From what we have been able to tell only the most recent posts are editable by the author. After that only moderators and admins can edit/delete a post.
