You need to pm the Board Guide for the board you started the thread on or alternatively email abuse at the address given in my signature.
Hope this helps.0 -

Tony managed it - I can still see the thread he deleted 'cause he did it on This Site:Questions and Suggestions where I'm a guide.
They may have changed it. Don't think you could do it before - or perhapse there's a time limit because I'm sure I've tried before and failed
Wirm posted on the thread as well and it still let him delete the whole lot0 -
Ah, thanks sra...useful to know for future use. Herman - MP for all!

Please note that Ambassadors are not moderators.

I went to the oldest thread I started on this forum and clicked edit on the first post
To delete this message, check the appropriate option below and then click the 'Delete this Message' button.
Note: deleting this message will result in the deletion of the entire thread because this is the first post in the thread.
so I'm assuming so - unless it's a board guide thing (though the thread I went to wasn't on the board I'm a guide for)0
