 JeffreyI thought that once there was a post, one couldn t/shouldn t be able to  delete his/her own post. Probably it is an option or a bug ?

 JeffreyWell, it looks like another thread fell victim to the delete my post button. Maybe this feature could be disabled untill the bugs are worked out of it. One can always edit out what they want to without deleting and destroying threads.
 
 Maybe with some serious thought and consideration we can all come up with some good ideas to help keep the board moving in a forward direction. Lee brought up some valid concerns for us all to ponder.
 But in the end, it is US that will make the difference.

 JeffreyWhen this thread got started, I would agree that Bearbait had some very good points for us to consider, but from my perspective, it seemed like it was posted in quite an aggressive style.  It lost it s constructiveness with it s in your face kind of attitude.  But, a few folks did try to understand what he was saying and posted very good thoughts to the points he made.  Unfortunately, they may have misread his meaning and things got off on another track completely.  After that, it was every man (or woman) defend themselves.   For some reason, things that were totally uncalled for were said, and remarks that were completely off the wall were made.   Every time there is a thread that becomes either heated or controversial, someone makes remarks about high school and cliques.   However, any time there are more than two people who have a lot in common and think a lot of one another, could be considered a clique.  What are ya gonna do, prohibit personal friendships?      Let s try to stick with the original content of the thread, and see if there really is something constructive that we can do about the questions raised by Lee.

 bearbaitI think most people are in consensus with Bearbait s questions, the board has been a bit slow, and when I see the # of members, I have wondered why there isn t a lot of activity.  I don t interpret it as a negative thread, just something to think and ponder.  I ve noticed it at other forums too.  Could be due to people being out and about camping, or just getting into their lives in general.  If you look at other campfire forums...they do seem to divert people from the general topics.   I try to make sure I look at the campground reviews and general popup threads and not just come to the campfire.   Hopefully when spring has sprung there will be many more people actively contributing to the forum as the camping season revs up!!!!

 JeffreyThe board is a bit slow because a lot of us are under anywhere from a few inches to a few feet of snow/ice. As far as the delete button goes, I firmly believe it should stay. There have been more than a few times that I have responded to a post, only to want to delete it. Sometimes you just get caught up in the moment and say things you would like to take back.
 
 Just my pennies worth.

 Unfortunately, Bill, the power to delete your post can also delete the " published"  thoughts of other members that have posted after you. *That* is the problem, not whether or not you can delete your own words. The power to affect the posts of others should belong with the moderators of this forum, not the " rank and file"  members. You can still delete the words of your own posts by simply using the " edit"  function.
 
 I m not trying to say anything bad to Bill, or about him. I respect his opinion and wouldn t want another member to be able to delete his posts without his permission. I m just pointing out how the software of this forum seems to operate. Until Admin can change the way the delete button works, we will continue to lose posts not intended to be lost.
 
 Put it this way: A new member asks a question to which I give a totally bonehead (read: wrong) answer, and then another member gives the correct answer in reply to my post. In my embarrassment, I delete my post. Should the correct member have his/her post deleted as well?
 
 Perhaps the " delete"  button should be disabled until different code can be written allowing subsequent posts by other members to remain.

 That is what I have done until I can talk to Steve.  The ability to delete posts has been disabled in all " General"  forums.

 Dave,
 I ve not noticed this. The times I have deleted a post, ONLY mine was deleted, no one elses. True, it does make the entire thread seem to not make sense, but that is better than a war one the board. IMO.
 
 Now everyone SING!!!!

 Bill, it all depends on how the other people posted their reply.  If they clicked on teh big button on the top or bottom, their post would not go away, but if they clicked on the small reply buttin inside a post theirs goes away if the post they replyed to is deleted.

 JeffreyI like to be able to delete also, used it on the old board a few times.
 
 But, It is true... if you look at this page many of the posts happen to be replys to my post.
 
 If I delete the one at the top they will all go. Don t make me show you!
 And if someone is replying to one of the ones that go with it, theirs will also go.
 
 It really needs to be shut off somehow, if that alone can t be shut off. Then just turn off the delete feature, and we can just edit them. By just leaving it blank or a face or something.
 
 And I won t sing that sappy song[: (]

 JeffreyThe whole chain-deletion thing was something I was unaware of prior to deleting my three posts on this subject. I often times delete my posts when I reflect upon them after a day. I don t apologize for deleting my posts, but I do apologize if it ended up deleting somebody else s. I guess now we all now know how to reply without having our posts inadvertently deleted by somebody else.
