Deleting posts? - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

Can we turn on the ability for us to delete our own posts. I think we used to be able to....

Why would I want people to be able to delete their embarrasing messages? How would we make fun of them?

...the real answer is that allowing people to delete posts means they can delete *any* people's posts, since it's a moderator function, and we can see why that could be a little bit of an issue. Just edit the message to nothing if need be.

Must be a "non-feature" of the new forum SW. I swear on the old stuff, there was a nice red X next to quote, and Edit on your own posts. Oh well.
