Occasionily I want to delete a post I just created. Some times when go into Edit i'm given the option to delete it and other times when I'm not given the option.

Does anyone know why this is?

That's happened to me, too, Pete. Not lately, but it has happened. I've found that you can't just click the delete button either. You have to click the round circle beside where it says delete post, and fill in a reason in the box before it will work. Well, at least that's what's happened to me.

I believe as long as it is within the first 20 minutes you can delete it if it's an OP and there are no replies yet.
