Are you set on WYSIWYG? If you are, it shows up immediately above the "edit" button when it goes into edit mode.

when you edit the post, click the "go advanced" box and then you can delete

I thought I had that enabled. Must have been on another board that I frequent.

Does that really work? I have tried that, but when I it "Go Advanced" there is no option for "delete."

Where should I look for it?

Do I have to change some other setting?

it's at the top once you click "go advanced"...its there for me anyway

It will be the top section and look like this...

Delete this Message To delete this message, check the appropriate option below and then click the 'Delete this Message' button.

<fieldset class="fieldset"> <legend>Deletion Options</legend> <label for="rb_del_leave"><input name="deletepost" value="" id="rb_del_leave" tabindex="1" checked="checked" type="radio">Do Not Delete Message</label>
<label for="rb_del_soft"><input name="deletepost" value="delete" id="rb_del_soft" tabindex="1" type="radio">Delete Message</label>

</fieldset> Reason for Deletion:

Don't delete posts. They are part of our history.

Definitely missing that somehow.

I can delete posted responses to a thread, but not a thread I start.

I click "Edit" then "Go Advanced" and all I see are editing options and a "Reason for Editing." Wierd.

So how do you delete a thread you started?

I think with the old board software if you start a thread you could delete it, at least before there were responses.

I can delete a post here but it doesn't look like you can retract a thread...
