I just tried to attach a photo to a post on the France board and it came out teeny-tiny, so I went back to try to fix it (couldn't) and then to delete it. I got a message that I didn't have permission to edit or delete my own posts. I checked the Permissions info on My Space, and that line wasn't checked, though I definitely am able to edit (change) a post.

What's the deal on being able to delete a post? Why couldn't I delete that little picture? Oh, and I might as well ask this too-why did the picture turn out so tiny? (Can you delete it for me if I can't?! On the thread about Food for Thought - Tourism in the Luberon.)

Kathy,
Others have posted about the problem with deleting posts (see further down in this forum). We're trying to figure out what's wrong.

In the meantime if you want a post deleted click on the "Alert" button and one of the mods will delete it for you.

I'll remove the tiny photo from your Luberon post. Sorry - I don't know why it turned out so small!

Thanks for taking care of me, Colleen--

Just realized my post "sounded" impatient and whiney! Sorry! I'm just so used to most everything working so well here!

The photo should upload at the same size you have it on your computer - are you sure you were not uploading the thumbnail? Try it again.

We recently changed the edit/delete features. You cannot delete a post (but this is a bug and should be fixed soon) - instead do the alert and we will delete it. You can edit a post for 60 minutes. After that it cannot be edited.

Thanks Pauline. I was able to load another photo, and then tried my original photo again. Still small, but not teeny. (Maybe the portrait orientation results in a smaller photo?)

I tried to go into a previous post of mine to add dates of spring travel and found out that I don't have permission to edit/delete my posts. Why? Can anyone help?

Thanks!
Sharon

Sharon,
Members now have 60 minutes to make changes to a post. Were you trying to edit a post that was "older" than an hour?

Yes, I think I was. So I only have 60 minutes to correct spelling errors? That's a lot of pressure!

Thanks for explaining things.
Sharon

After 60 minutes, if you want changes to a post or want to delete it, just click the little alert icon (exclamation point in a yellow triangle) on the message and a moderator will take care of it for you.

Chris,
Thanks for the tip--I'll keep it in mind for next time.
