Hello, MRK . . . and thank you in advance for your help.

I'd like to delete a message I posted, but don't see any way to do this.  Please advise.

Best regards,

I've been asking this for awhile now.
At first there was an option but not now.
Glad someone else brought it up.

In your post you should see a button marked "more". Hit that button.
Once the "more" button opens, you should see a button marked "remove topic".
Hitting this button will remove your topic/post.
If it doesn't work, DM me and we'll get into it.

Thank you for your advice.  After hitting "more", I didn't see "remove topic" -- but I saw "modify".
Nothing about "delete" or "remove" was offered to me.

I tried deleting all the text from my message, but the system wouldn't accept a blank posting like that.

So I'm still not quite satisfied.  Any further ideas/help would be appreciated.  By the way, I don't know
what DM means (or how to do it).

Best regards,

"I tried deleting all the text from my message, but the system wouldn't accept a blank posting like that."

Try this it might work. delete the whole message then type in Message Deleted, or Deleted, or a smile, or a keyboard symbol. That might trick the computer into accepting you modified your message, which you actually did.  Just a thought.

Thank you, desotoman.  I think that might achieve what I'm trying to do . . . and it's worth a try.

By the way, I don't know
what DM means (or how to do it).

DM stands for Direct Message, also known as a Private Message.  You can do that with the toolbar in the upper left corner of the page.

Or you can modify your post to "please delete my stupid post" and one of the moderators or admins will see it and it will be gone
