Unable to delete own thread? Why?
#1
Hey I am unable to delete my own thread, I am activated, I shouldn't be banned since I am new and I don't know what to do. I was just going to delete
http://www.vg-resource.com/thread-26277.html
I'll post a sprite thread later when I develop more things, just strange I can't. Is this the right forum to ask about it? I have no idea.

Edit: Got my answer, thanks! Even if I could delete i'll keep my stuff up anyway.

I believe the ability to delete your own threads was removed with the newest version of the site, but I wouldn't worry about it.

If you don't feel like using that thread, just let it filter down the list, and make a new one later, or update your current one at a
future date; you should still have the ability to change your thread's name by editing the header of the first post.

Don't quote me on this; I'm not a mod or anything.


EDIT: just realized that you may want to delete your thread because you've gotten no replies on it yet; Give it time because this
forum isn't as active as others, and generally If interest is there posts will follow.

The ability to delete your own thread should never have been available but was mistakenly enabled at some point in the past. That was fixed and is now working as intended.

Hey thanks a lot, that was one of the reasons, I don't like bumping things so I had thought of just posting during a more busy time but i'll just leave it up anyway even if I could delete it Smile I'll stick it out, I'll still be working on sprites so I'll be lingering around here. Ty too Petie.

By the way, in case anyone is wondering and because I didn't answer the original "why" of this thread, the reason deletion of your own threads is not allowed is because it effectively gives you the ability to delete other people's posts which is not something we want to happen.
