Only Bergie and a few of the other Kalmbach employees have the power to delete a topic once a response has been posted by another member. I f you catch it before anyone else has posted you can delete it yourself. You can always delete any of your posts that are not topics.

The obvious answer is No because so many people work so hard to make posts. If you deleted the thread, all of their hard work would go away.

If it has an X in it, it sucks! And yes, I just had my modeler's license renewed last week!

Go to the top of this page.
Look at the line that says when the poll was posted.
Look to the far right or that line.
there should be 3 links ( edit , delete , quote ).
If not go to the next one.
Now click on the link that says delete.
When prompted enter your password (sort'a like disarming a bomb).
Another screen will apear.
If it says DELETED then you chose... "wisely"
If not ...........
he chose........... poorly.



Now if that doesn't work then put a mesage to the administrator.



Now if that doesen't work then sell your house and move back in with your parents![:D][:D]


Delete is not an option for the initial post/poll. I guess they don't allow you to delete a thread.

If people don't like I'll get rid of it, if I can. I have gone into the edit poll and edit message areas and could not find a way to delete it.
