You don't.

There is a 15 minute window from the time of posting in which you can edit your posts, but that's it.

If you really want to delete that post, drop a PM to one of the Admins and ask them nicely.

You edit them out within 15 mins of posting, or ask admin to remove them if you have posted something objectionable this can be done using the 'report' button.
Otherwise I don't think you can.
Of course you can post again saying please ignore previous post.

Now should I report you, as you didn't edit within the allotted 15 minutes?

I forgot about the report button...

There are none. Either ignore it, post a retraction/apology post or use the report button to ask Admin to remove it.

And a "thank you" would have been appreciated....

Re: general stuff

Aaaarggh...
I hate that...someone asks your advice, you explain it to them and then they say.
Don't you have some other advice?
If I had alternatives I'd have given them at trick one.

Although you could always post blaming someone else for the previous one...if you say 'The Squirrel made me do it' that usually works.

Or just chill out...the world won't stop just because you posted something daft...we've all done it occaisionally.

At the archery club someone once asked me what I'd do to repair a small splinter which was raised on the back of his bow.
I carefully explained what to do... he then said 'I don't like that, is there something else I could do?'
I simply walked away at that point (it was either that or shoot him)

Maybe you should wallpaper over the monitor?

I was going to suggest Tippex™, but I wasn't sure if the OP is blond...

The report button is the best technical mechanism.

Though there is a moral mechanism too: don't post unless there is no conceivable way that the post will ever require reporting and deletion.

The other way is to get the whole thread shut down , by being 0bscene or discussing Rel1g1on or Evolut1on (that usually upsets someone)....
Maybe suggest we're all evolved from Afghan Gray Gay Suirrels that don't believe every word the bible ... that should do it.

Oh that is just typical of someone like you. you have no RESPECT for anyone else and YOU don't believe in the RIGHT thingsd - like what I do and now you will be dammed and spent all etternittiity in pain and loathing. Being beaten by Gay afghan Sqibbles.

A badly typed, randomly capitalised and ungrammatical rant which incorporates some personal slurs can help get it shut down too.

You're all so heartless, laughing at my PM impotence . Come the rapture, cat's ain't gonna be allowed on my spaceship. It's rodents only (a few people allowed, but no Cajun - sorry, it's a culinary thing). Whilst I'm stuck in never-never land, ponder some trivia (OK, I got it off TV) - what is the only poisonous primate ? I'll admit to having only heard this recently. The following is a clue;

K- refusing to log in until my PM's work. sick of typing for 30 minutes, just to see it all evaporate. OK,. I'll log in for another test PM. If admin want shot of me, I'd rather be told - not just feckin' pissed about with. Who would have thought - I'm almost on topic, but for all the wrong reasons.

Heeeeellllpppp......

I can't reply to PM's or edit my profile. I've used 2 totally separate sytems/ISP's, so I can only conclude it's summat at CR4's end. Could you shout dear Mr Moose or somebody and ask them what's occuring/plead for help on my behalf. Ta. I can read PM's and post to forum, but nout else - it locks my screen up. No problems on any other site.

Baffled of Etherville.
