Remove a thread or make invisible

Hi there,

Is it possible to make a thread which I started invisible or remove it altogether?

Thanks:)

    Just thank people for their input (as you have done) and let it slide down the board out of sight.
  • Hi Torbrex,

    Thanks for this, yes people should always be thanked for their input!

    I was more concerned with one of the threads being accessed through my profile and one of the previous threads I started in there by clicking "Show all statistics".

    Sorry but it is a public forum and it boils down to 'if you don't want it to be seen, don't post it'
  • haha that's what I thought, and it's perfectly fine. I was seeing if the functionality was there!

    Thanks again

  • This might be a handy feature as I have just found out when I accidentally posted to the wrong forum - or maybe make it so the thread owner can move the thread themselves to the correct place.
  • Yeah that could be handy. Take some pressure off moderators ;)

    BGs? :think:

    Not necessarily ... ;)

    Some people would try to move their thread, that a BG has moved to the wrong board, back to the correct board.

    And then the BG will feel compelled to move it back to the wrong board again ... :whistle:
