One step forward 3 steps back. Suggestions please.

Agreed, it takes some work to do after the message has posted. A solution is to figure it out while still creating a new post (not "editing" a prior post).

But you may not be able to fully delete a post; if that's needed, just write "Please remove" or "delete" and save that, and let a mod know you'd like it to be deleted.

If you have the little disc icon at the top right-hand corner of your post, you can first clear your post text, then click that dropdown and select "Delete draft." But I'm not certain that will actually delete a post that was already posted. YMMV

I appreciate you, but the issue I was talking about is for not-yet-posted posts. Regardless, I think your post will be helpful.

I guess I'd better get busy on my own perfect forum software. I miss the forum software that used to be common, 'Vbulletin'.

So for a virgin draft post that has not yet been submitted/posted (is that redundant?) but you would like to discard it, if you have the little disc icon at the top right-hand corner of your post, you can first clear all your post text, then click that dropdown and select "Delete draft."

I wish that using the "Delete draft" selection would wipe out the text but from my experience it doesn't.
