deleting posts Can't Post

Are deletions (by posters, not admins) limited to the 10-minute edit window? And does it make a difference whether there have been replies to your post?
Just curious; I don't have anything I want to delete yet.

Yes, the 10 minute edit window is the limit [In reply to] Can't Post

I don't think you can delete your post if someone's replied, but I'll experiment with that later when I get home from work.

a couple of follow-up questions [In reply to] Can't Post

Does the 10-minute clock restart each time you edit a post, or is the post frozen 10 minutes after the original post time? For instance, say you post at 10:30, then decide you want to change something. You make your updates and post the revised version at 10:36. If you're still not satisfied, do you have until 10:40 or 10:46 to edit again?

Also, do replies have any effect on your ability to edit a post, or do you get the 10 minutes regardless?

Again, just curious; if you don't have the answers, I can always experiment on my own.

I do know that... [In reply to] Can't Post

...if you take longer than 10 minutes to write/format/compose your edit.. you lose the ability to do so. That is, the clock does not stop ticking when you hit 'edit'.

no longer just aMagpie... I'm now *the* Magpie
