I hit the delete button and it said error. Then I refreshed to find my original post still there!

@dirrtydozen22,
You've been around here long enough DD (and I believe you even asked this question before) to know that your posts can't be deleted after a certain period of time. Still not exactly sure what that time period is but it's probably 2 minutes or slightly longer but by not much.

@tsarstepan,
The period of time is 10 minutes...give or take ... to delete your own post.

Perhaps OP is either has an impaired memory or has some other issue that doesn't allow her to remember anything. For example OP doesn't seem to remember her other screen name, Angel23, and doesn't remember that most of the people on a2K know it, too.

@Ragman,
Isn't there a catch on deleting threads where the ability to delete ones thread is stopped when someone else has already replied to the thread? I thought I seen this as a possible outcome/condition through anecdotal evidence.

@tsarstepan,
Perhaps, once there's a reply to it ... yes. However, FWIW, you can still edit the response for 10 mins even if there's been a reply.

The previous replies explained that.

@dirrtydozen22,
That just might be your browser's inability to clear out the delete button graphic from its cache.

@dirrtydozen22,

the software isn't sophisticated enough to gray out the button after the time limit has ended.

that would be a cool feature...
