View Full Version : FIXING ERRONEOUS POSTINGS

If you posted #things here that you wish to erase, it's easy.

Just go to the forum, and look for the postings UNDER your callsign/login. #

CLICK ON YOUR posting and open it up. Up in the upper right hand corner of the text block you'll see a rounded item with the words 'EDIT' 'DELETE' and 'QUOTE'.

THEN you can select EDIT or DELETE and make the changes/deletions you feel are valid.

THEN - IF YOU WISH TO DO SO - you can make a FRESH, NEW post and give a short summary explanation as to WHY you deleted what you posted and let folks know that 'all is well and I have no problems' (or something like that.

If you want to add a note of apology/correction/resolution that would be good and would let folks know about the ending.

THEN all those who posted can delete their followup comments.

End result.. the issue goes away... no need to let things linger that are no longer valid, and eliminates old things cropping up as new things when new people read them and have to comment as well.

Just a thought..

ORV,

True enough.. but if just delete it.. then it 'disappears' and it tends to (at least) limit the public distribution of whatever it was you felt needed to be delieted.

CHUCK K3FT,
OH I agree chuck,I have commented on a post, to have the poster come back and delete his post leaving my comment dangling like a partaciple. It is very rude and inconsiderate to others, not to mention confusing to those reading it anew. # # # #73, # ORV

Thats nothing, I had made a comment at another site about something and It was all messed up, I had to post a statement that what was said was not posted by me, http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif who knows, I don't know besides I think they had a crash some time back a month or 2 just before I joined the posts by the way NON HAM related just to assure it was not another Ham site ! http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif

oh well.
