</div>

Steps to reproduce:

1. Make an account on [try.discourse.org](http://try.discourse.org)
2. Go to Preferences
3. ‘Delete My Account’ button is disabled even though the user has 0 posts.

I’m not sure if this is supposed to be default behaviour but I can’t find any options related to enabling the button. I have also tested this on our [staging server](http://csa-discourse.mofostaging.net/).

How old is the account as there is a time limit too (I think)

When I tested on [try.discourse.org](http://try.discourse.org), the account was about 3 minutes old.

Yes, this might have regressed. @neil can you have a look?

I fixed this. It was a regression related to the ember upgrade.
