AI Thread Summary
Duplicate posts on the TracFone thread occurred due to a user mistakenly creating two entries. Regular users cannot delete their threads, as this function is reserved for Mentors, who manage such issues. Instead, users can utilize the Report button to address duplicate posts. The user expressed concern that their recent migration to Windows 7 might have caused the issue. Overall, the discussion highlights the limitations of user controls in managing posts on the forum.

I started a (rant) thread about TracFone and somehow it ended up being posted twice. When I attempted to delete one of them, there was no "delete" option.

That's because deleting threads is something Mentors do. It's about the only fun we have here, so there will be no Delete button for regular users. So there.

(You get to use the Report button as your Delete button) :smile:

Thanks. I didn't know that. I was worried that my recent migration to Win7 might have screwed me up, somehow.

(Either that, or I somehow ended up in double-secret probation!)
