Deleting your own message
 
When I click on the edit/delete button on a post I wrote, it takes me to my message. I can figure out how to edit it but not delete it. I try deleting the content of the post and then it says it’s not long enough. I can’t find an actual delete button anywhere. Can someone point me 8n the right direction?

I found the same issue...never figured it out

so hoping someone will have an answer

Cannot be done. Some people just type in ///. You can't unring the bell.

There is no right direction - you just keep going in circles

Would be nice to know what was there before the person thought better of it and replaced it with /// :)

If you /// after someone has quoted the post, it lives on.

Try this, go to EDIT your original message, manually delete all of the text, then enter any 3 characters, your original message is gone, and the new 3 character message is all that remains.

davem4616 10-09-2020 02:19 PM

well, at least now my question of what the heck "///" meant has been answered

If you want to throw a curve ball try \\\

If you want your message to disappear just edit it to include some inflammatory political comment. Presto, gone.

People should think before they write something , because for better or worse you should own it

If you are the original poster and want it deleted you would have to click the red triangle and send a request for that.
