How do you delete a topic or comment after creating it?

[Davo]

I know how to edit a post but sometimes I post something and after a few minutes wish I did not post or comment and I don’t know how to delete it.

Only mods and administration can delete but you can go to edit and erase everything you just put in please delete.

 

Now I don't remember if you have to have gold membership to use the edit button shouldn't be but I don't know for sure Brian will be along in a while and get you sorted out

You can't delete a topic. We got sick of people not getting the answer they want or throwing a fit down the line and trying to delete all their posts, messing up the forum.
You can edit content for a certain time based on your membership level See more details here: https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/subscriptions/

If there is a valid reason to delete a topic,you can message a moderator or admin.

Hope this helps

I thought he meant just comments,  right you can't delete a topic

The Edit function is diabolically hidden in those 3 dots in the upper right corner of your post.  Click on it and you'll get choices, one of which is Edit.  However there is a time limit that, once expired, the edit is no longer available.  Like they said above, at that point just PM a Moderator and ask for a delete.

If such a scenario arrises, 

In a comment you can tag me using the @ symbol, and then selecting my username from the dropdown menu. That gives me a notification, and I can address your needs sooner.

I am always happy to assist if it adheres to the forum rules. Like Brian has said above, the delete function can be abused; so this is the best way available.

All that being said, the Izakaya is an island, and only Brian can moderate that section.
All the best,
