 |
|
On clicking "Submit", I received the following error:
----- [snip]
Could not connect to smtp host : 111 : Connection refused
DEBUG MODE
Line : 128
File : /home/www/forums.gentoo.org/includes/smtp.php
----- [snip]
When I tried to post to another thread [https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=41196#41196].
Sorry, moderators - multiple postings as a result, and I can't seem to find the "delete" button under "edit".
EDIT: Heh...  missed the new X button next to "edit". But FWIW, the tooltip popup for "edit" should no longer say "Edit/Delete this message".
EDIT: Ah, Ok, BUG: the X button doesn't appear on the other thread, so there's no way to delete. |

Yes, we were having MTA issues. Sorry 'bout that.

Yes it should, because you can delete a message by clicking on that button. (one of the checkbox options on the resulting screen is "delete this post")

Weird -- I deleted the excess posts for you.

Thanks for deleting the duplicate posts. 
However, I must quibble on the matter of the "edit" button...
I don't currently have anywhere to upload the screenshot, but I can pretty confidently say that there is no "delete this post" checkbox or anything like it on my screen. I've just pressed "edit" for my last post in this thread, and try as I might, I just can't find any option to delete.
Plus, that "X" button that showed up next to "edit" before, with a tooltip saying "Delete"... that's gone.
As you say... weird 
EDIT: Okay As of this post, both the "X" button and the "Delete this post" option under "edit" have reappeared... but they're still not showing up on the earlier posts. |

I wouldn't be surprised if you could only delete the last post in a thread - allowing one to delete arbitrary posts in the middle of a thread would make the numbering and threading code more complex, because you would have to deal with holes.

Actually, this is something that phpBB handles exceptionally well. I haven't seen an instance yet where a post either couldn't be deleted or screwed something else up as a result of being deleted.

Well, I've seen the situation the original poster described. If I have several posts in a thread, I can edit all of them, but the X box that I assume means "delete this post" only appears on the last post of the thread (and, obviously, if said post is mine).

Odd -- I wonder if you try deleting the one post that you can access, if the next post then becomes deletable after that?
Anyone with a "normal" user account mind giving that a shot in /dev/null?

Yes, it does. I made a thread in /dev/null, added three posts to it, and as I deleted each from the bottom, one more became deletable each time, until I was finally able to delete the initial message in the thread.
