Try it in a new post in this thread.
In OMNI a person can delete his or her post. It is advisable to replace the text first with null text. This will prevent the first line of the deleted text showing up in an OMNI search forever, adjacent to a garbage can icon.

I have tried deleting posts in non-OMNI forums. That also has not worked well. I have found that one could delete and replace text but not the posts themselves. So per Cholula's post, I am going to test it again, in this column. If this post disappears, then Cholula's advice has worked, for this forum at least, and I will go to other forums and test there.

See you on the other side, people!

(ETA: A second or two after saving text above) Test finished: I could delete the above text if I chose, but there are no screen options that say "delete posts." I know that in other non-OMNI forums I have not been able to delete the posts themselves.

???????

Second try: I logged out, waited a few seconds, logged back in. This was so that the "last edited" line will show up below. Still no way. Will try some of the various icons in the top screen line. I can't find any way to delete this post. I can delete and replace text but, as in the past, cannot delete the non-OMNI post itself. How is this done, Cholula?
