    [SOLVED] How the hell do I make this forum work?

    I've just unintentionally made four copies of a post because I kept getting an error-msg. page every time I tried to submit the post, after which each time it did not show up in My Posts. Finally, I check Miscellaneous page and find all four copies there--with NO way to delete even one of them, let alone all duplicates. What the hell do I have to do to do what should be a two minute task in two minutes instead of 15 minutes?

    This is a well known problem with the forums, when you see the message, just ignore it your post has been made. You can wait a minute for it to show up in the new posts section, but I just wait for a reply.

      As I've posted NUMEROUS TIMES, when you get this error (a know issue), don't refresh the page you are on. Just reload KFN and go to the forum you were in. The post you made will be there.

        I also don't know how to mark three other posts solved. How do I do that? And you still didn't answer the question of how to delete a post.

          Be patient. The forum owner has just announced an impending upgrade.

            Some forums don't allow users to delete the posts they make. Click the "Report Post" to request mods to delete a post. They may oblige.

              Click on Thread Tools then Mark this thread solved...

              A little exploration of ones surroundings goes a long way.

                Re deleting ... at the least, you can always edit a comment, go in and delete all the text, and maybe leave a note saying -- post deleted -- or something ...
