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!
