Re: Can I Delete My Own Post?
replied on: 7/28/2002 6:16:22 PM If your the owner of the post then yes you should be able to. If it's a reply to a post you should see "Del" under your name next to "Edit". But if you started the post then you won't find the "Del" link there because you need to delete the whole thread. So look at the top of the page and you should see a "Delete Thread". You will have to be logged in before you see either of these links. This means you will have to have cookies turned on.

Re: Re: Can I Delete My Own Post?
replied on: 9/7/2002 12:59:27 PM Dann, I've seen that advice given to others: Click on "Del" next to your post. I have never seen a "Del" option, only "Profile|Reply|Edit". I thought that it may be there after I click on Edit - but no "Del" there either. I am a member and I am logged in at the time. Someone mentioned "cookies". Sorry, but what are they? Do they have anything to do with my problem? Can you explain "cookies" in very simple terms? Thanks, Sorobon (Bob) |

replied on: 9/9/2002 12:40:58 PM hehe...sure no problem (ill take this one lawizard). A cookie (no not the one you eat) is a file that web pages send to your Temporary internet folder along with everything else that you download when downloading web pages (graphic files and anything else you may need to download a website). What cookies does mainly is keep track of your visits to the website and what you did there so that the next time you visit that site, the cookie on your computer is sent back to the sites server so it remembers you. The cookie file usually contain information that you entered on the website and what you looked at there. Ever knowtice that you dont always have to log back into this site every time? Thats the beauty of the cookie. It has your user name and password right in the cookie so you dont have to enter it every time. Thats the basics of the cookie. I guess it can do other things...but i dont know what else. JW's World Admin-- J.W. |
