Editing or Deleting a Post

I sure could be mistaken (because I belong to several User Forums; not just this one), but I could've sworn there was a way for a registered user to edit or delete their own posting(s) after they'd been posted. But I can't seem to find anywhere - even on the Help page (which is really annoying) how to do it. Even got an Apple Tech on the phone and she couldn't find anything on editing or deleting a user's own posting either. Am I crazy? Didn't there used to be a way to do this?
Thanks!

You're Welcome Mike!
Topics were also systematically removed from the Forum, after a certain amount of time of inactivity.
But no longer. They are now usually here in perpetuity, unless removed for just cause by a Host.
Instead they are Archived, and Locked, so no additional replies, other than by the OP, are allowed.
What that means is, that if there are no additional responses in the Threads, the Topics will get continually pushed down on the Topics list. After a certain amount of time, maybe 2 to 6 months, the Threads will be locked, and archived. But the Threads will not disappear.
Threads in heavily trafficked Forums, may be archived more rapidly than those in areas, with less activity.
If someone were to do a Discussions Search, using these parameters:
Restrict by Category or Forum: All Categories
Restrict by Date Range: All
Restrict by Username: A Member Alias
all of posts by by that member, created since about 11/13/05, would be found.
And Thank You, for extending the courtesy, of awarding in  Discussions, as this is not a requirement, nor mandatory, but is much appreciated!

  • MOD REQUEST: Editing or deleting a post i made

    Hi,
    I would like edit or delete a post i made.
    Is this possible ?

    If you could go to the actual post, and use the option to flag to a moderator, explaining the reason why you want the post deleted, they should be able to help.
    Remember however, Google would have the original post in its cache, so it may persist on thi Internet for quite a while.
    There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

  • Visitors Editing and Deleting their Posted Information

    Visitors to my website will be able to post information and upload photos.  At the same time I would like for them to be able to delete or edit their information.  Does anyone know how I would do this?
    Thank you.

    Sorry for being so vague.  My website is go to function very similar to Craigslist.  So I want visitors to be able to log in and edit or delete their postings.  I'm not sure where to start.  I would like for visitors to sign in and see their postings so that they can edit and/or delete them.  I'm not sure where to start.  Do I have to create an edit/delete page? I used a tutorial before that taught me how to create a delete page but it was for administrators. http://www.adobe.com/devnet-archive/archive/dreamweaver/cs4/first_dynamic_site_pt3_05.html Would I follow this to allow visitors to edit/delete their posts?  If so, how do I modify this so that they can edit/delete their posts only?

  • To Moderator or Admin - Please edit or delete my post!

    Dear Apple Moderator,
    Foolishly, I included my domain name in a post I submitted and now I'm very concerned that, when people Google me professionally, that post will come up because my domain name is in it and Apple Discussions are indexed in Google so highly.
    PLEASE help.
    Can you either remove my domain name from the post or delete the post entirely?
    Here is the link to the post: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8157650#8157650.
    (If you can also answer the question I posed in that post, I'd love that, but the more urgent need is for my domain name to be removed!)
    Thank you so so much for your help!
    For your reference, I've copied the text of that post below:

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't tell me this is the final word on the crashing of iWeb. I was working on my webpage *domain name is here - please remove it or delete post* in iWeb (and SAVING CONSTANTLY) when iWeb quit. When I opened it back up, the page I was working on (sadly, the most complicated and time-consuming page on the site) was completely blank... white... nothing. Still in the list of web-pages on the left, but BLANK. Blank. Nauseatingly blank. You know the feeling...
    Help. Please someone tell me your magical way of excavating this page from wherever it must be (it must be somewhere right?).
    Otherwise, I have to recreate it... of course. And that thought... ouch.
    Thank you!
    p.s. WHY isn't saving the same as backing up? Saved is saved, no? In every other program I've ever worked in, at least if something crashes you can go back to the last saved copy. And sometimes it even "recovers" the file when it crashes. Help...

    Hi Amanda. It looks like the Hosts have this taken care of for you.

    Hi jeff. Do you think you can somehow delete my post. I felt I had a legitimate question but clearly others didn't think so. I don't want more people to harass me or email me nasty comments. I would be very thankful if it could me deleted.

  • Why is there no way to edit or delete a post?

    I accidentally posted a discussion before I finished it, and I need to edit it.

    Um, no, not sure how you got that meaning.
    If you are using an Android, Windows, Blackberry, or Mac device you can edit your post within a 15 minute period.
    If you are using an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad and using the Safari browser you CANNOT edit.
    How is that discrimination? Apple is discriminating against itself?

  • How can I edit or delete a custom label in the contacts list on iOS 7 on iPhone 4S ?

    How can I edit or delete a custom label in the contacts list on iOS 7 on iPhone 4S ?

    I've been trying to find a way to do this since I updated to IOS 7, and I've just found the solution/explanation, even tho is a bit heavy to carry out.
    IOS 6 creates custom labels and save them giving you the option to delete them.
    IOS 7 creates custom labels but don't save them, so there is no need to have the option to delete them.
    But here comes the problem, if you have some custom labes saved in you Iphone / Ipad with IOS 6 and you update it to IOS 7, the device will keep those labels saved, but you wont be able to delete them.
    I realized this by going to contacts on Icloud. There those labels that I had on my devices weren't there. So simply restoring your device and configuring it as a new one to later sync your Icloud Contacts, will solve the problem.
    I know this post is old, but I might just try this with iOS 8. I have outdated custom labels that annoy me, because I still seem them in the list as options. If I get desperate enough, I may try your solution.

  • Google Calendar - can't edit or delete shared calendar events

    I have several shared calendars on my Google Apps account. I created all calendars and have full sharing and edit rights on each. I'm using webOS 3.0.2 on my Touchpad, and I can see my shared calendars. However, when I use the webOS calendar I do not have the option to edit or delete any events on these shared calendars. This is a pretty frustrating issue. Is there any fix for this besides using Google Calendar in the web browser, which has display issues, to say the least, for me.
    Thanks.
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    They are the standard kind. I create the events or my wife does in Google calendar. I can view them and they seemt to sync up just fine, but when I select them in calendar there is neither an option to edit nor delete. I also cannot create new items on these shared calendars from the Touchpad, although they are all visible in the calendar app itself. I'm hoping this gets resolved as this is almost an issue big enough that I may return the touchpad in my 14-day return window.

  • Solution:  iMac Address Book - Issues when Editing or Deleting Contacts

    Is there a way to select a bunch of similarly posted questions and propose to "ALL" an answer or solution?
    Hardware & Version: I have the iMac OS X Lion 10.7.4  (as of this writing)
    Every so often, after updates, there seems to be rights issues with some apps, such as Address Book and iTunes, especially for iMacs with one or more non-admin accounts.
    But somehow, even using the Admin account to give Read/Write access to some relevant user folders (AddressBook folder of that user in this case) does nothing to allow the editing or deleting of those contacts.
    Here is the solution that worked for me, without losing all my contacts:  (just in case, backup all files and contacts prior to these steps...)
    1 - open Address Book app
    2 - right-click a contact that you cannot edit or delete
    3 - select "Spotlight: <contact name>"
    4 - Finder will open and show all files pertaining to that contact (select View as Columns from the menu)
    5 - find the file that has "Address Book Card Data" next to the "Kind" value (the file icon will look like those Roladex cards)
    6 - right-click the file and select "Open Enclosing Folder"
    7 - another Finder window opens to show the Metadata folder location of the file
    8 - now stretch the window until you see the AddressBook folder containing the Metadata folder
    9 - Quit Address Book app
    10 - right-click the AddressBook folder and select "Move to Trash"
    11 - launch the Address Book app
    You should now be able to edit and delete contacts.

  • I am trying to delete duplicate songs in my library, when I click on the duplicate and go to edit to delete it, it asks me if i want to delete the playlist!

    I am trying to delete duplicate songs in my library, when I go to edit to delete it, it asks me if I want to delete the playlist!

    Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning
    to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

  • Edit or delete  material reservation

    Dear All,
    regarding material reservation created using MB21 TCode.   some examples in which system creates reservation without date (for some items, not all items) When i am  try to edit or delete such reservations system gives us an error   "Posting date is initial" and does not allow us to edit or delete such reservations.
    1.  Why system creates material reservation without date and how to prevent it?
    2. How to delete such reservations?
    sunil

    Hi,
    Regarding this issue, the reason why you got F5669 when accessing
    reservation in MB22 is that the requirement date RESB-BDTER should be blank.
    I don't know why the requirment date of the reservation became blank
    in your system..
    Unfortunately, there is no standard report available to update the old
    reservations with requirement date. This problem can be solved by updating the value via SE16 in deabugging mode
    1. run SE16, input the table name RESB and press ENTER
    2. input the reservation number and press Run button.
    3. In transaction code bar, input the '/h' and press ENTER to activate the debugging mode, then double click the item line.
    4. in debugging mode Select 'Switch to Classic Debugger'
    5. then press F7 and Double click code, then its value was shown below.
    Currently the value is SHOW, please change it to EDIT, then click the Pencil button.
    After clicking Pencil button, press F8.
    Now you can see the field is editable. You can now change the required field's value and click the SAVE button
    ***CAUTION****
    Please be careful and not wrongly input or typing value in other fields!
    After you exit SE16, the edit mode is closed and return to normal display mode
    I hope this can be of help
    BR
