    I don't think you can...

    BGs for that board or Forum staff can delete threads :) I had a quick look at threads you've posted on but I'm not sure which one you mean - also threads being deleted does depend on the reason for deleting - ie BGs will remove spam and duplicates etc Forum staff will remove abusive ones and so on :)

    Hi Alleynx
    I have sent you a new PM about deleting the thread. Several lovely DFW people posted on it after you logged off last night...might be worth reading those...they're all on the final page.

    Big hugs and Good luck

    Nope. I think the board permissions for a normal user on MSE are set like this.

    It's only "think".

    That is from a slightly later version of vBulletin than is used here, but I presume the settings aren't any different for something as basic as that.

    The forum has always told me to "get lost" whenever I've tried to delete a thread of mine. ;)
