3rd) Tutorial: Editing or Deleting A Post

To edit or delete a post...

In the lower right hand corner of your post there is a folder, in the middle, that has an eraser on it. Click that and you can edit your post there.



You can also delete a post in there too... so be careful what you click when you do edit your post.

By clicking, Post Now your edited thread will be posted back to the site. By clicking "Delete Now" you will delete the entire post.

To insert these little smileys into a post, you would need to follow this tutorial.

You start by composing a new message or replying to an older message.

° • ¢ ♪ ♫ ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠
⅛ ¼ ⅜ ⅓ ½ ⅝ ⅔ ¾ ⅞

I made it easy for you. You know how to copy text... I now have it in the "Reply To This Post" box. Have fun!!!



BTW: If there is a symbol you feel you might need, let me know and I'll add it.

"Save ~ Edit ~ Delete"

Because we've had a few members reporting accidental deletions of their post I've made a few changes to the delete function.

The Delete Message...? link has been moved farther left. That was the biggest complaint for accidental deletes of members posts. More so recently since touch screens are more widespread.

I've also inserted two buttons that should help too. A "Back Button" for editing posts so you can save it and a "Cancel Button" that will just close out the delete window.

You're still able to delete if you want to.



If you hit the Delete Message...? this pops up now.



Also a few members were unaware but PMs (Private Messages) are automatically deleted after approximately 6 months of inactivity. If you need them to stick around longer you'll have to reply to them again before the 6 months are up. As long as they're active they can't be culled.
