I can't delete posts from my created hubs,



Or my personal page.



But if I move it to a different topic;



I can delete it just fine.

Have you tried pressing the blue rubbish bin?

There's no blue rubbish bin on other peoples' posts, unless I move them to a different thread.

I thought the screenshots were pretty clear.

The screenshots do have blue rubbish bins, though.

Only for her own posts. You'll notice on the replies, she only has the option to ban them.

I would say this is a bug. Does the delete option appear for posts that others start? If so, that would suggest you can only delete "root" posts by other people, and not replies.

I definitely recall being able to delete individual posts. It's a bug, I'd say. Maybe the button disappeared when the reattach function was added.

I just checked the page source for a topic of my own, with a post by someone else; the delete button is in the html, it's just not appearing on the actual page.

For this post: http://www.byond.com/forum/?post=87241#comment403492

It's the third line of HTML.
It's clearly missing "require_forum_admin_mode_inline", while every other forum-mod thing has it.

//delete, the problem here is the class setting, \
it's missing "require_forum_admin_mode_inline", \
which is needed to show up for forum admins/hub owners, \
and not just BYOND moderators.

I moved the thread to bug reports, as it's looking like a bug.
