Help
I asked the admin. to tell me how to delete a post. He/she said to click "edit" and delete the post within an hour.

So,I never post in this group, but wanted to try the delete thingy out. So I went back a few pages and selected "favorite names" to add a post and delete it.

I clicked "edit" and see no way to delete the post. Other people do it, why can't I? What am I doing wrong?

1. you can't totally wipe it out.
go to your post, use the edit button, and rewrite over with whatever you want either in title or content.
type in 'delete'.

2. My dear fadedrose...
In your post here...

Down at the bottom right...

There's a word "edit"...

When you click on it, you are returned to your post as though you are writing it again...

And yes, you have an hour to do it after you originally post it...

That's all.

I'm not sure what you're talking about with this "favorite names."

5. Oh, the name of the thread was:
What are your 3 favorite names?

It didn't matter about the post, I was just looking for something that wouldn't stress anybody out when I deleted it.

THank you so much.
