The cross, by my edit button - Answered

Post by Samantha Jane »

Hi
Can I ask, why is it that every time I post, a cross (delete button) appears next the edit? I have not noticed this on other girls posts.
Is it that what ever I write, can be immediately errased in an emergency, before anyone can read my posts? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hi Charlotte,

Yes. This is there for the person who posts last in case they do want to hit the panic button. :) Once the post moves up it can't be deleted anymore using those buttons. Only you can see them if you are the last poster.

If you posted the last post Sally couldn't see the edit and delete buttons. If Sally posted last you wouldn't see the edit and delete buttons. :)

Hi Beauty,

Thanks so much for your quick reply and explanation. I knew there would be a simple answer. #-o :lol:
Just curiosity really, as I had only noticed it in the last few posts and I wasn't sure if I was doing something wrong.
