How can members delete their own posts?

My apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere (I have searched!)

Currently, members can edit but not delete their own posts.

Is there settings option I need to enable for them to be able to delete their own posts?

Under post edit time limit on the admin/site_settings/category/posting page.I see “The author can edit or delete their post for (n) minutes after posting. Set to 0 for forever.

“min trust to edit post” is set to 0

Is there some place else I’d need to edit settings for folks to be able to delete their posts - not topics, just posts? Or is the only option to delete a post using the edit function?

Many thanks in advance!

You are incorrect. They can delete their own post. They cannot delete their own topic.

I have a feeling you are confusing the two.

Thanks for the reply, @cpradio!

Should members see a ‘delete’ option, or is deleting done via editing post?

In other words, is there some place else I’d need to edit settings for folks to be able to delete their posts - not topics, just posts? Or is the only option to delete a post using the edit function?

Many thanks in advance!

It is typically hidden behind the “…” on the post (I’ve expanded it on mine above)

Thanks for the speedy reply! :grinning:

OK I think what has been confusing me is it doesn’t look like a member can delete their first post - only edit it. I do see that members have the little trash can hidden behind the “…” on subsequent posts in a topic, just not on their first post if it was the first post in the topic.

Thank you so much for the help!

As I recall we since made it so people can delete topics, with a small delay, if they have no replies.

延迟时间会有多久

这个主题很老了,但是用户帖子删除规则取决于管理员为特定论坛设定的设置。
