That was always the case before. Now I don't seem to be able to delete any posts at all.

EDIT: For example, I originally made this post less than a minute ago, and there's no option for deleting it.

I have never needed (up to Where Am I? #3) so I didn't realise that you couldn't delete posts up to then, and I thought you couldn't anyway in the 'Zone 5 - Quizzes and Games' forum.

This is interesting, as when I looked at users' permissions before the upgrade I am certain that there was an option for "can delete own posts". There is now no such option that I can find.

We can set a time limit for deleting posts. It's currently 0 which means you should always be able to delete your own posts.

Shouldn't 0 mean you can never delete your own posts? You need a time limit of infinity...

Anyway, whatever it means, I still can't delete any posts!

EDIT: Oh, it seems I can delete my posts in "Off Topic Chat", but not in this forum or in "Quizzes and Games". Will someone please explain the criteria?

It should only be Quizzes and Tumbleweed where users cannot delete posts - this is to stop people cheating.

This forum requires investigation. Done and updated.

OK, thanks (and apologies for my comments in the Off Topic forum).

This is a rather strange thing to ask me to agree to, having upgraded the forum and changed the names of all the sections without asking me to agree to it ... :lol:
So do you agree to it? :D
