Bira: Why can we no longer delete a thread we start if there are no replies? I tried to do so in the PC with no luck.

there is no distinction in the software between deleting a thread with no replies and deleting one that has replies.

A user cannot delete a thread, only hosts and admin can.

If you want a thread removed, though, PM the forum's host(s) or any one of the admins. They'll gladly do it for you ;)

Ok! Sorry. I thought we used to delete threads if no replies were posted. Am I thinking of another UBB board, or is it something you turned off?

[bira]

you must be thinking of another board. Posters aren't able to delete threads (full or empty) here for some 1.5 years now

Thanks. Can you delete this thread?;)

I noticed while deleting a post that it reads:

Note: deleting this post will result in the deletion of the entire thread if this post is the first post in the thread.

under the 'delete' button...
