DELETING POSTS

Can anyone tell me how I am meant to delete my posts? Ive put multiple posts up in search of a relative but the Admin have had complaints and all these messages could be seen as "spam". I've clicked the Delete button, it comes up with a box saying "are you sure you want to delete" I click OK but it does nothing and my post remains.

I don't see any posts from you other than this one, so perhaps you've been successful?

If not and you've posted under another ID, keep trying to delete the posts. There has been a problem with deletions for a while, but it was supposed to have been sorted. If you still can't delete a post, use Report Abuse to ask the board's administrator to delete the post.

Hi

No theres been an error apparently on the deleting system. There are now no posts from me because admin were kind enough to delete all of them for various family members ive been researching over the years because of a simple mistake i made with a recent query. Ive had to place a complaint to Ancestry because this has gone too far and feel im being unfairly treated.

Thank you for the advice though i appreciate it :)

We all know that deleting posts was broken...but within the past few days it has been fixed. You should be able to delete your own posts now and admins can also delete inappropriate posts again.

Thank you. Admin have already deleted everything ive been researching for years on the messages because i put multiple messages up for a particular relative ive struggled with. When i was advised it wasnt allowed i wanted to delete them to help, as per message initially, but instead they deleted everything apart from this one message. So i now no longer need to delete anything!

Thank you for advising though, its appreciated.
