    What's the point of users not being able to delete their own posts anymore?

    This has come up a few times already here and there.

    Short answer?

    You can.

    I don't know where the misunderstanding lies, but post deletion is as possible now as it always has been.
    Try again.

    For instance, in the 'quick edit' pane. The delete button is between 'go advanced' and 'cancel'.

    And in the advanced pane the option is at the top of the page as always.

    Correct - for me, anyway. I can't speak for §outh§tar.
    Incorrect - it was definitely missing for a while there. Maybe §outh§tar is now having the same problem I had. Weird.

    Delete fails to appear in the The World section while it does for others, though for a while it did not.

    It a embarassment of a mess, rampant inpetitude as usual.

    Dunno.
    Shows up for me there.
    I was going to ask if it was in a particular subforum that this might be appearing.

    There's the door, O Bitter One.
    You won't be missed.

    So much more of a mess then.

    It was not so bad before the shits were put in charge of the toilet.

    The last I heard, moderation was not a mandate to put words into the mouths of others.

    The poverty of it all is betrayed above all else by the inability to achieve anything else but the trade of insult.

    More evidence of your failure to understand science and now logic.
    The new moderators have nothing to do with the missing delete button.
    Sorry about your luck.

    Moderators are people too, Sauna old lad.
    Anyway.
    Sounds like you're getting off on this victim garbage anyway.
    Good luck with that.
    It should do amazing things for your karma.

    Hmm.
    Is that what being a victim is for?
    If you play the victim do you wrack up this karma paycheck where the world has to pay you back for all the crap that is done to you?
    No wonder.

    Too bad it doesn't work that way, but you keep pluggin' away.

    It's called hypocrisy, O Bitter One.

    Note your entrance to this thread. From out of the blue, Herr Sauna spouts:
    "It a embarassment of a mess, rampant inpetitude as usual."

    That's an insult, O Mighty Victim.
    And the "as usual" would indicate that this is not a momentary lapse.

    There's no need to put words in your mouth, Sauna. You do quite well on your own.
    Your own bitterness defeats you.

    Rampant inpetitude as usual is the way the World is, at large, which is not news except that some prefer to be bounded in a nutshell and count themselves as kings of infinite space.

    Yes, O Bitter Hypocritical Victim.

    Something to keep in mind. And, yes, I already realize this goes both ways. It's not a Truth, but something to keep in mind.

    Nah, the topic is one that has come up several times.
    This weird missing 'delete post' thing.
    Would be nice to get to the bottom of it.

    Just time to lay off the bitter old guy.
    It's pointless anyway.
    He can't help himself.

    I'm in the physics forum trying to delete a thread of mine, and, I swear, there is no delete button/option anywhere. I've gone 'advanced' and looked.

    Look, I've even edited here and there's a delete button. There's no delete button there.

    Dont worry. One day the internet will die, then your post will be deleted.

    or the admin could go nuts and delete the database.

    No, I don't think anyone could ever be that insane.

    ...inability to achieve anything but the trade of insult.

    Nobody has yet said what they intend to do to fix the issue.

    This has come up before.

    Was it not then discussed between the moderators?

    Did nobody yet attempt to get to the bottom of it?

    It's a pretty tricky bug, Sauna.
    One that occurs only sporadically and for random users.
    Computers are often beset with similar odd occurences.

    Maybe it's sun spots?
    The will of Moloch?

    Anyway.
    The mods aren't able to fix the problem. We don't have access to the software. Only the admin can do this.
    And the admin hasn't yet tried to figure this out.
    I think it's likely that this problem won't be solved.
    It's probably an issue with the modifications made to the default vBulletin template.

    Anyway.
    You certainly never had a problem with the delete button, eh?
    *chortle*
