I am having the same problem with Sláinte. I tried respelling it Slainte, but so far it still shows up scrambled.

I have not been able to find the "delete" button (to delete an entire post) in this new board. Do we have this capability on the new board :?:

Thank you.
Look for the blue "x" at the lower right hand corner of your post.

Bob:

I looked on several of my posts from the past few days. I did not see a blue "X". I then typed a new message in the "Sandbox" section and I did see a blue "X".

I went back and looked again at several of my earlier posts from this week and last week. There is definitely no blue "X".

Is it possible the blue "X" is automatically deleted from the screen after a period of time (a few hours to a few days) :?:

I looked again at the "Sandbox" section and the blue "X" was still there after about 4 minutes.

To be clear - I have not had any Guinness in more than 18 hours :!:

Here's the scoop: you cannot delete your post unless your post is the last post in a thread

Hey Bob. Congrats on the transition. Looks like it was a big job. It looks good and I think it will have some real benefits. One question about the new delete post mechanism: is the new format a moderator choice or is it mandated / dictated by the new platform? Thanks.

It doesn't appear to be a moderator choice. There's an option to "delete posts" and I have that checked for registered users.

The 'x" button to delete posts functions the same way it did with the old message board.
You can only delete your own posts; and you can only delete a post providing it has no Replies.

Love the new modern format. Nice choice.
