The edit button is in the lower right of your post. As for deleting, I don't know how to do that without the moderation menu.

Registered users should be able to delete their own post from the same menu.

The rules say you can EDIT your own post, yet i am unable to do this maybe i am looking at the wrong window but in the lower right i have on;y three buttons. Quote, multi -quote and quick reply .in a posted window.
After it is posted how can i edit my own Post ?

In the quick reply on the upper right that says "switch to Editor Mode / Is this what you are talking about.

Before I was a moderator I remember that next to the Quote Button on MY posts I had an edit button of which I could edit until someone replied to my post. Unless the permissions have changed I believe you can still edit your own posts until there is a reply made to them.

As far as deleting, I've seen a regular user do it in the past...somehow...:rolleyes:

I see an "Edit" button on my post. Are you sure you are logged in? Perhaps you are just in guest mode.

As for deleting, once you click "edit" there is a "Delete" button in there.

Sounds like it's time for a sock puppet account.

I decided that this had drifted enough off topic and moved it to this thread for discussion about how to use the Forums.

I don't know if I am allowed one of those. I think Tomw has one and he keeps track of what can or cannot be done with that.

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.
