    I posted “Valle Vidal Advice Wanted” in the “Philmont” Forum and the “Trip Planning” Forum. These postings are no longer valid as I’ve changed my route. I would like to delete both posts, then re-post an updateded version. How can I delete the old posts?

    Did you ever get a response to this?  This site lacks customer friendliness.  I’ve tried to delete a post and it keeps telling me because I’m beyond the 30-day limit, I can’t edit it and there’s no where I can find about how to delete it.

    PM moderator Matthew and ask him to delete the post, tell him why. He’s pretty good at responding to such requests.

    Yep Doug is right. I’m great at responding to these requests. You can PM me any time.

    There’s a short edit window for users and users cannot delete posts but I’m happy to do it or I can edit posts as needed.

    I see two posts from Mart on that topic and there are a bunch of responses. I’m not inclined to delete the original post of a thread that has been responded to by so many people. I don’t think it’s weird at all to post “hey my plans have changed and I’m going from this other trailhead now” or whatever.

    It does look like I missed Mart’s original post. That does happen. I have a day job as a teacher in a public high school and Jan 13, 2022 was the beginning of the semester. Sorry about that.

    PM is a great way to ensure I see something.
