all faux nothing then....

Onward, onward,
Ever onward,
On to meet the faux again...

Taken from a Russian revolutionary march whose title and composer I fail to remember from my schooldays, with one word change.

I think there's a time limit. If it was changed straight away, yes, the OP seems to be able to do that. What would have happened if Petrushka had just deleted the content and not added Deleted post instead I cannot say. Some bossy machine might have intervened and ticked him off.

I tried that and you do indeed get a bossy box on the ears telling you to put in text.

There ought to be a mechanism whereby the OP can delete a thread once opened in cases where it's been posted in error. I've a memory of Dave2002, I think, doing exactly what I did a while ago.

Maybe the original poster can, but I've seen lots of messages suggesting otherwise (i.e., Host: Please correct title).

What actually happened is that I asked a question about how to contact Eloquence about a faulty disc, clicked on 'post' and within a minute found their contact email address. It was late last night and tiredness is my excuse


As I'd found the answer to my own question it was no longer needed so I looked for a 'delete' option but there doesn't seem to be one. I decided to just wipe it clean - and, yes, I can change the heading on my own posts and thought everybody could.

Apologies but at least I seem to have provided some light relief!

A good water saving tip... Unlike the Sunday appropriate thought "Wash me throughly"

I must confess to tinkering occasionally where allowed if I spot something wrong or inconsistent in a thread title. But I think a little note appears saying that an edit has been carried out.

No worries: glad you found what you wanted and hope that you get a replacement.

... ah, how often did I use those very words! (but that was many years ago.. )

I decided to just wipe it clean

... those too!

... I hoped such words might mollify...

What's surprised me is that the thread title must have been original, as I think that only Hosts with permission can change them after the post has appeared.
Maybe Petrushka can tell us what this is all about. Perhaps he saw all the Proms 2025 threads appear and disappear and wondered why they (but plural posts?) had been deleted?
But perhaps better still for ff to delete the whole thread, unless we feel like wandering off into the land of conjecture.
