Is there a way to delete a forum post as opposed to simply editing it?
You only get a small time space window to delete a post, a few hours I think from memory, after that you can't delete the post and have to resort to editing
Disciple is right. However, if you want one of your own threads deleted, you can make a request post. <IF> a FL forum monitor sees your post at some point, he or she might delete it for you.
