Is there a way to delete old post. I have so many on here. Just wondering, not to computer savvy.

I don't know. That's something I'd like to see though.

I think the only way to have a post deleted is to contact admin and ask him to do it. Moderators may be able to, not sure about that.

No, there isn't...

We used to be able to, however, when you read through topics and there are missing comments/replys that had been deleted, it really disrupted the flow of the conversations. So Admin took that ability away, to keep the topics "making sense."
Members had also removed pictures too, so when they were referred to, you could spend a lot of time going through pages in a topic, looking for no longer existing pictures....

Deleting topics also isn't done very often/at all. It was annoying when you would go and look for it or had it bookmarked and it had disappeared...

i can delete posts. however, as amma pointed out, we don't do that "just because". posts and topics are only deleted to solve or prevent serious problems.

if you need something specific deleted or edited after your time runs out, you can contact me and i'll fix it for you. :-)

you don't need to delete your old posts. they aren't causing any problems. if Admin starts running out of room, he'll take care of it. :-)

Unless you mean all the unread topics posts from everyone. Just go to the top and hit all read.

the posts online dont take any space on your computer... they only take up space on the server of the site itself...
So no matter how much you post, it wont affect your storage space :D

So true. If you bookmark them to your computer they will take up space so just bookmark them here.
