Do you really want to delete this post?

Do you really want to delete this post?
EvF Wrote:Yeah well that's handy actually because this gives me a chance to tell you that you shouldn't delete your posts because it will disrupt the forums (however slightly).

Because it can kill the context, as you noted.

I know things like this are annoying, but maybe there should be a "are you sure you want to delete post" question or undo or something. Seriously, just right after I hit the "X" I realized that Ev had posted something after. Of course, that's all your choice, I just didn't realize he was being sarcastic. Angel

I didn't think members where even able to delete posts.

They can delete posts, but not posts that are the start of threads.

As for Cego's question...there *should* be an alert box that pops up with that question. Have you got JavaScript turned on? In any case, if you delete a post by accident, send one of the admin a PM. We can undelete posts for you.

Yeah, javascript is on. Maybe, I hit enter or something. Oh, well, it wasn't all that important anyway. But , I'll kept in mind that you admins can undelete posts if I mess something like that up again. Thank you.
