What happened to the "Delete" button?

[newbury]

Okay so we can either do edit and delete function with a time limit, or edit function with no time limit, but no delete. Thoughts?

What's the time limit?
A minute? An Hour? a day?

Right now I have edit and delete on my old posts.

I vote for edit with no time limit and no delete.

Since this latest version enabled edits, I have been able to go to some of my old threads that are still active and correct links that quit working and replace pictures that didn't show anymore.

Now it's an eyeball on the right.

????? Don't see it or it's a joke I didn't get.

Hmm. Here's a picture. All of those red eyeballs are threads I've posted in.

I would rather have the edit/delete option. After a post has been up long enough and several people have commented on it, editing is a bit ambiguous.
As somebody else already mentioned though, how long will you have to edit?

Firefox and Brave I don't see the red eyeball. I feel cheated..
Might be some software I use blocks it??

It's a setting in your profile. Click on your username in the upper RH corner, then "settings" and you should get this window:



I believe that it you put a checkmark in the line "Automatically watch content you interact with…" it will bring up the eye.

Unfortunately still nothing. Oh well I can live without it.

Edit. A few days later after I changed the settings suggested I see the red eye.

Sometimes - as happened today, when I go back to edit a post the system will duplicate the message. It looks as though I have ended up replying to myself. Now way to delete these extras.

 

[Jstpssng]

I think you can delete one by clicking Edit, highlight the entire message, push the delete key on your keyboard then click "Save".

Since there is nothing to save it deletes the post.

I will try that.


Edit:
No luck. You would have to save your changes, and it won't allow it with nothing there.

Yep, does not work now, got this when clicked Save:

I have used that procedure to delete things in a replied to post as I was making it, but it does not work to delete your own post.

 

[Xfaxman]

The Delete button works.

Here it is before delete, notice the #70 post is now what was #71:

I hope everybody knows the Delete and Edit buttons only show on your own posts.

I am now using a Chrombase computer with ChromeOS.

IIRC it used to be X hours from the posting time (24 hours sticks in my mind).

Well aren't moderators something special!



Let's see if I finally have a delete button - after posting this.

Nope, just Report and Edit.

And nothing in Edit that can delete the post. Bah.

Delete button has been restored with 3 day time limit. That time limit also applies to editing as they are tied together in terms of permission.

That's great, thank you. It also will mean my point count goes down, as I won't be writing "Deleted" anymore.

I often used "self-moderation" instead of "deleted"

Type twice, post once?

Yep, then I just started using the "ignore" feature so I don't need self moderation so much.

There are some who don't appreciate my brand of snarkasm.
