Sorry if this has been answered but i did a search and found nothing.
How long are post/threads stored in system?
Can users deleted posts they created?
You can only delete your post if no-one has posted after you.
You can edit and delete or change the text in your posts at any time but if someone has quoted you already then the original text will stay in their post!
Hope that helps! biggrin
I believe...though Im not sure... don't take this as gospel... in fact, ignore me, I aint said nuffink....
only your last poat can be deleted...
am I right?...eh?...am I?
you may be able to *edit* any previous posts... efectively leaving a blank space... not sure though...
why on earth am I posting as if I know anything?...I patently don't!
unless of course one of our glorious Moderators can be gainfully employed... bolt

Not sure about that, but if you do have a post where no one as replied after you, you can delete it yourself by using the 'delete' button on the top right hand side of the post itself.

Yes, you can edit any of your posts, even if someone has replied or quoted you. again, the 'edit' button top right hand side of the post. However, if someone has quoted your post, their post wont be changed.

Yes, you can always ask a Mod to do it for you, but if LP asks, we are in the process of thinking up loads and loads of 'forfeits' for him to do before we agree to it.
LP sweety, just for you smackbottom

Maybe the key is to think first about what you post, so that you don't regret posting it and therefore have no need to delete?

So this is one of the ones you'd delete is it FB?

Why would I delete that?

because it wasnt neccessary. People need to occasionally delet posts, not everyones as perfect as you

I'm far from perfect Drew and I know that occasionally posts need to be deleted - but Pob seems to be asking about the majority of his posts.
And I don't regret posting what I did; I don't feel the need to delete it.

hank you, no one is perfect. if you so happen to be perfect then your not perfect
one of the best things, imo, about the forum itself is the ability to go back over previous posts. The 'search all posts' button is an absolute godsend and effective tool for 'researching' and checking someone out :lol2: - well, it is! and I dont think i'm the only one that uses it in that way wink
if you're inclined to think you might come back here when you're 90 and regret what you see, then perhaps thinking about what you post now would be better?
some of mine I guarantee might embarrass me completely, but i wont regret any - only perhaps the one's I could have posted but didnt! :twisted: lol

:thumbup:
I do go back and read what people have posted previously. If I found they'd deleted a lot I'd be a bit concerned about their motive for doing so.

what i do now i may not wished i had done when im thinking back at 90.
i mean dont everyoen one wished they had listened and studied harder at school. Now thinking back maybe i should have done that little harder. but at the tiem at school i knew best.
similiar theory
no fighting please, that wasnt my main objective

Main? :shock:
I still dont get why you would want to 'erradicate' all trace or delete stuff that was entirely relevent enough to you/your life to post in the first place dunno
unless there's an element of 'stop-gapping' creeping in wink
of course we all make mistakes, but we learn from them, not erase them or pretend we didnt do it in the first place :wink:
but, when all's said and done, yes, you can go back through your previous posts and edit their content. What you cant do is erase all trace of ever being here - the post itself will still exist, and as you've probably seen when old threads get bumped, the SH archives go all the way back to day dot :thumbup:

Well you could go back through all your previous posts and edit the content, but I have a far simpler solution:
Don't come back and look when you're 90 biggrin
