Hope I'm posting this question in the right area. Why is the technical support forum locked?

Anyway, is there a way to delete items from "my forum posts?" I want to clean it up and get rid of some things I no longer need to keep track of so I'm not scrolling through so many old topic notifications.

TIA

do you mean from Watched topics? If you go to watched topics, you can check the box on the far left of any threads you want to remove. At the very bottom of the page you'll see "stop watching this topic". Click that and all of the threads that you checked will be removed from your list. You can also hit the "stop watching this topic" at the bottom of any thread page. I'm not sure I answered your question b/c I'm not sure where to find "my forum posts", but I hope I've helped.

I don't think you are able to delete your forum posts. You can only delete watched topics.

You have a brief window of opportunity (several hours) to edit/delete forum posts.

Tech Support is locked because we were being flooded with the same reports of the same errors over and over because people were not checking to see if their item was already reported. Once we clear up the known bugs, we will allow new submissions.

Regarding your actual question, you cannot delete items from My Forum Posts, as that is a complete record of what you have submitted to the forums, and those posts cannot be deleted, unless, as JanH mentioned, the post is less than 4 hours old.

So it wasn't a figment of my imagination that sometimes I could edit posts and at other times I cannot. icon_confused.gificon_confused.gificon_redface.gifthumbs_up.gif
